## What it is
A Microsoft-maintained collection of YAML templates, samples, and design docs for Azure Pipelines in Azure DevOps. It serves as a community hub for iterating on pipeline YAML design in the open.

## Use cases
- find yaml templates for azure pipelines
- learn how to write azure devops ci pipelines
- get example pipeline configurations for build and release
- contribute feedback on azure pipelines yaml design
- bootstrap a ci/cd pipeline for my repo on azure devops

## When to choose
- you use Azure DevOps Pipelines and want ready-made YAML templates
- you want to learn or propose YAML pipeline patterns
- you need reference examples for multi-stage builds and deployments

## When to avoid
- you use GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or another CI system
- you need the actual Azure Pipelines product or its issue tracker (use Developer Community)
- you need a runnable tool rather than templates and docs

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: ci-cd, developer-tools, documentation
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: cloud, self-hosted
- tags: azure-devops, yaml-pipelines, templates, examples, azure-pipelines, devops, automation
