Applying manifests in Azure DevOps pipeline

Question

Basically, I want the pipeline to apply some manifests before deploying images from ACR. No images need to be made. It would just be things like applying the issuer.yaml, ingress.yaml, and maybe a few other things that need to be run before the client and api images are pulled from ACR.

Was looking at the documentation here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/deploy/kubernetes-manifest?view=azure-devops#overview

But just not really seeing what I need.

Suggestions for how to do this?

Once again, come across the answer right after asking the question.

Needed to look at the Kubectl task and not the Kubernetes manifest task. Particularly the Commands section:

- task: Kubernetes@1
  displayName: kubectl apply using arguments
  inputs:
    connectionType: Azure Resource Manager
    azureSubscriptionEndpoint: $(azureSubscriptionEndpoint)
    azureResourceGroup: $(azureResourceGroup)
    kubernetesCluster: $(kubernetesCluster)
    command: apply
    arguments: -f mhc-aks.yaml
