# Queue Pipeline Task

This task enables you to queue an [Azure Pipelines](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/?view=azure-devops) pipeline from a Kubeflow pipeline. For example, this task may be used to queue the deployment of a model via Azure Pipelines after the model is trained and registered by the Kubeflow pipeline.

## Inputs

|Name|Type|Required|Description|
|---|---|---|---|
|organization|string|Y|The Azure DevOps organization that contains the pipeline to be queued. https[]()://dev.azure.com/`organization`/project/_build?definitionId=id|
|project|string|Y|The Azure DevOps project that contains the pipeline to be queued. https[]()://dev.azure.com/organization/`project`/_build?definitionId=id|
|id|string|Y|The id of the pipeline definition to queue. Shown in the url as *pipelineId* or *definitionId*. https[]()://dev.azure.com/organization/project/_build?definitionId=`id`|
|pat_env|string|one of pat_env or pat_path_env|The name of the environment variable containing the PAT for Azure Pipelines authentication|
|pat_path_env|string|one of pat_env or pat_path_env|The name of the environment variable containing a path to the PAT for Azure Pipelines authentication|
|sourch_branch|string||The branch of the source code for queuing the pipeline.|
|source_version|string||The version (e.g. commit id) of the source code for queuing the pipeline.|
|parameters|string||Json serialized string of key-values pairs e.g. `{ 'x': '1', 'y': '2' }`. These values can be accessed as `$(x)` and `$(y)` in the Azure Pipelines pipeline.|

## Outputs

Output `output_url_path` holds uri for the newly queued pipeline.
