Validating Azure Pipeline Changes

When modifying Azure DevOps pipeline files (YAML files in build/azure-pipelines/), you can validate changes locally using the Azure CLI before committing. This avoids the slow feedback loop of pushing changes, waiting for CI, and checking results.

Prerequisites

1. Check if Azure CLI is installed:

   az --version
   

   If not installed, install it:

   # macOS
   brew install azure-cli
   
   # Windows (PowerShell as Administrator)
   winget install Microsoft.AzureCLI
