Azure data factory ci/cd release errors - azure-data-factory

Question

I am trying to deploy to the UAT environment and followed the needed steps shown in a blog post and youtube video.
However, I keep getting failures.
If I run it in 'validation only' mode it passes fine. But to actually deploy it under 'incremental' I receive the following errors
2022-03-01T17:24:27.6268601Z ##[error]At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/DeployOperations for usage details.

Answer 1

Are you using any Self Hosted Integration Runtime? If yes, then please check it is in available state during the deployment or your connection string may not have the Secure String property:
"typeProperties": {
"connectionString": {
"type": "SecureString",
"value": .............
}
}
