Oracle objects deployment using Azure Devops Pipeline - oracle

I have a requirement to automate deployment to different environment(dev, stage and prod) using Azure devops. I am not able to find a task for the same. Azure devops has task for SQLServer database deploy, MySql Database deploy but not for the Oracle database deploy.
I am very new in Azure devops. Please guide me how can I achieve this.

For this issue, Red Gate has a set of deployment tools for Oracle, but integrated in Azure Devops is the SQL Change Automation extension, which is only applicable to SQL Server database.
So AFAIK, there is currently no task for Oracle database deploy. You could add your request for this feature on our UserVoice site, which is our main forum for product suggestions. You could also vote the suggestion ticket and share your comment there, so product team would provide the updates if they view it.
As a workaround , you could try to use the PowerShell on Remote machine task to deploy your Oracle changes and place them in an Azure DevOps CI/CD pipeline without having to install an extension from the Marketplace. For details ,please refer to this blog.

Variables in a Azure botframework Composer CICD Pipeline

Long time lurker, first-time question so apologies if I do this wrong.
I have successfully used the following to create a continuous deployment pipeline in Azure DevOps:
Composer CICD Pipeline Sample
However, I would like to use additional pipeline variables to insert into the appsettings.json file: such as additional API keys and the ApplicationInsights connectionString.
Does anyone have experience of doing this or can someone point me in the right direction?
Google has shone no light on this and unfortunately, I have found the botframework documentation to be lacking.
Azure deployments by the pipeline you reference do not use the appsettings.json file. Those settings are ignored.
The pipeline installs pipeline variable values in Azure as App Service Configuration Application Settings using the task "Configure App Service Settings". You might start there.

Deploy Azure Data Factory Pipelines through GitLab

How to set up CI/CD pipelines for Azure Data Factory in GitLab. Can we deploy Data Factory through GitLab. Can someone please share useful links/documents for the same. TIA!
Unfortunately, Azure Data Factory doesn't support Gitlab.
Currently, Azure Data Factory allows you to configure a Git repository with either Azure DevOps or GitHub.

How to download snapshot for Operations in Azure AppInsight

How to keep deployment history of azure cloud services?

I'm using Jenkins to produce cspkg files using msbuild. It stores build results in azure blob storage. Then I use management portal to deploy them.
The biggest drawbacks I see are:
1. Deployments can be accidentally deleted easily.
2. There is no straightforward* way to check which version the cloud service has.
Is there a better way to manage deployments?
Its definitely not the best experience is it?
The approach I tend to use is as follows:
Build the deployment package and add the version number to the package filename (taken from AssemblyInfo.cs) e.g. MyCloudService-1.2.0.0.cspkg - this should be trivial using msbuild.
Push the package to Cloud Storage.
Perform the deployment of the package from Storage, with the Deployment Label '[CLOUD SERVICE NAME]-[VERSION] # [DATE & TIME]' e.g. 'MyCloudService-1.2.0.0 # 10-09-2015 16:30'
Check the deployment package into a 'Packages' directory in source control.
If you need to identify the version of the package deployed to the cloud service, you can see the Deployment Label on the Azure Management Portal:
'Old' Portal (manage.windowsazure.com):
'New' Portal (portal.azure.com):
