Just a little reminder, probably to my future self, to not call your Azure DevOps YAML Deployment stage ‘deployment’.
If you forget you can expect to waste plenty of time, like we did last week, with environment agents not picking up queued jobs with no diagnostic logging messages to give you a clue as to what is going on.
This issue has been reported on StackOverflow where it was pointed out that the official documentation used ‘deployment’ as the stage name. The good news is that at least the documentation is now fixed, but there is still the chance you can make this naming mistake all on your own.
So, future me, I hope this post save you some time.
