It can be difficult to update a custom pipeline job in Azure DevOps, particularly if a new version installs without any issues but doesn't apply in the pipeline. This frequently occurs in on-premises settings, when agents may not be able to use the upgraded version due to caching or SSL certificate difficulties. Detailed logging, automated testing, and appropriate error handling are crucial debugging tools to overcome issue. Effectively tracking updates while avoiding SSL problems using temporary settings and making sure agents refresh are two solutions. In intricate configurations, these tactics support effective deployments and seamless task versioning.

In the software development workflow, notifications must be implemented in CI/CD pipelines effectively to enable quick and effective communication of build results.
