New initial Beta and new initial Stable SDKs need to be identified in the create a release plan flow

[ladonnaq]

Requirement: New initial Beta and new initial Stable SDKs need to be identified in the create a release plan flow by the user as the requirements are different for first initial SDK releases.

Scenario: A service partner has new management plane (ARM) or data plane REST APIs and they plan to release the client and/or management libraries as a new initial SDK package. The new initial SDK packages should be Beta for 30 days minimum before releasing as stable SDKs.

Tasks

1. Check the value of DataExistingSDKs & MgmtExistingSDKs. If current value is "no", this indicates that the release plan is for a new initial SDK. Ask user to confirm the value in the release plan UI. (Engineering)
2. Add new picklist ADO custom field to the release plan work item to identify if release plan is for new initial SDK. The new custom field name = "isInitialSDK" with string picklist values of "yes" or "no". (La Donna)
3. Add new picklist ADO custom field to release plan work item to identify if the release plan is for a Beta or Stable SDK. The new custom field name = "SDK type to be released" with string picklist values of "beta" or "stable". The current "Create a release plan" UI already ask this question, so all that is needed is for the automation to update this field when a release plan is created.(La Donna)
4. Manually migrate relevant data in existing release plans (Data plane SDK release type and Mgmt library release type) to new "isInitialSDK" field. (La Donna)
5. Manually migrate relevant data in existing release plans (Data plane SDK release type and Mgmt library release type) to new "SDK type to be released" field. (La Donna)
6. Update automation to update the new fields when a release plan is created. (Engineering)

FYI @maririos - I completed these tasks today since I was updating the release plan work item.

• Add new picklist ADO custom field to the release plan work item to identify if release plan is for new initial SDK. The new custom field name = "isInitialSDK" with string picklist values of "yes" or "no". (La Donna)
• Add new picklist ADO custom field to release plan work item to identify if the release plan is for a Beta or Stable SDK. The new custom field name = "SDK type to be released" with string picklist values of "beta" or "stable". The current "Create a release plan" UI already ask this question, so all that is needed is for the automation to update this field when a release plan is created.(La Donna)
