Multiple YAML build pipelines in Azure DevOps

azure azure-devops yaml azure-pipelines

I'm currently trying to create multiple build pipelines for my Angular app in Azure DevOps using the new YAML way. I used to create a new build pipeline for the different environments I've set up (dev, staging, prod) when I was using the "legacy" visual builder.

But since I've switched to YAML-style build definitions everytime I try to create a new pipeline I get redirected to the existing azure-pipelines.yml. As far as I can tell from the docs it is not possible to define multiple pipelines in a single .yml file either.

Is this scenario currently not supported in Azure DevOps?

It is supported. azure-pipelines.yml is being auto-picked up by VSTS, you can create as many yaml files and create builds manually for those. that's the only difference.

so you need to manually create builds for different envs using different yaml files.
