Azure DevOps Agent general and enforced administrative task(s)

In order to ensure compliance certain task(s) have to be executed either before the build/deployment happens or after they have finished by the agent (private agent pool). These tasks are common for all projects in our account (100s of projects with 1000s of builds) and mandatory. It should NOT be possible for the user (project build administrator) to remove/change it.



Instead of individually adding these "administrative" tasks to each build and release configuration I am looking for a way by which I can force their execution centrally, maybe on the agent with some configuration. Is there such an option available? If not available, can it be developed as an additional plugin?

          What visual should I use to simply compare current year value vs last year in Power BI desktop

          Image
          0 I have column SubToBind that shows current year ratio and column PY SubToBind which shows previous year ratio. How can I simply create a card that would be displaying them both in a nice way? Something like that: I cannot achieve that with regular card, I also tried Card with States by OKViz but also unable to see both values. In KPI visual - I dont like the word "Goal", it will confuse end users. Are there any cards or other visuals that would do the job?

          How to ignore python UserWarning in pytest?

          Image

Is there a nice way to tell the pytest that "It's not a bug it's a feature" and tests should pass even when they get this warning? Is there other way than using something like: with pytest.warns(UserWarning): ...
