# Azure Pipelines: Tag-Based Releases

Deploy only when tags are pushed for controlled releases.

```yaml title="azure-pipelines.yml"
trigger:
  tags:
    include:
      - v*

pool:
  vmImage: ubuntu-latest

steps:
  - task: NodeTool@0
    inputs:
      versionSpec: "20.x"
    displayName: "Install Node.js"

  - script: npm install
    displayName: "Install dependencies"

  - script: |
      TAG_NAME=$(echo $(Build.SourceBranch) | sed 's|refs/tags/||')
      npx zuplo deploy --api-key $(ZUPLO_API_KEY) --environment "$TAG_NAME"
    displayName: "Deploy with tag name"
```

This pipeline triggers only on tags matching `v*` (like `v1.0.0`) and creates an
environment named after the tag.
