Validating Selective Deployments in Microsoft Fabric

Matt Collins shares some advice:

Selective deployments with the fabric-cicd python library are highly useful for shipping just the items that actually changed in your CI/CD process. Unfortunately, by default, it also tells you that a deployment succeeded when nothing was deployed at all.

This blog showcases an example where we selectively deployed Fabric items to upper environments, not realising that the dev ops pipeline reported as “successful” but did not contain our intended changes. We will then dig into some quality checks that highlighted a bigger error in the way Microsoft Fabric handles item naming in a repository.

You’ll learn how to help safeguard from human error in selective Fabric deployments, as well as create useful build validations in Azure DevOps that help to keep your repository resource names clean and fit-for-purpose. All this is achieved through two simple CI/CD pipelines.
