I wrote a sample PowerShell code snippet to crawl across all opened Pull requests in multiple repositories inside an Azure DevOps project and list the ones out where myself or the team/group I am part of assigned as a reviewer. End result is this:

Someone, asked me at work if I could generate a list of Release pipelines definitions which did not have a specific task ( AzSK SVT task ) missing or disabled. This was more for an internal audit purpose and can definitely be built upon. I recently read that Az CLI got an extension support for Az DevOps . Please read on the GitHub repository on how to install this extension for Az CLI. Time to put this to try. Below gist describes the steps I used in pwsh (PowerShell Core) with Az CLI & DevOps extension installed. The above script should be self explanatory (read the comments). Please leave a comment if you have any queries.

Azure Resource Graph is an amazing tool in the belt of Az Ops team. It allows to quickly search across all your subscriptions (does it?). Started using Az Resource graph with that pretext that the queries I ran will be run against all the subscriptions I have read access to, Yes it will but there is a catch here!

I am not really sure but some of the subscriptions which I can see when running Get-AzSubscription were missing when I ran the below: (Get-AzContext).Account.ExtendedProperties.Subscriptions So, the trick is to set the PSDefaultParameterValues for the Search-AzGraph cmdl...
