Hi, am I able to do build and deployment with Azure devops? I would think there needs to be some add-in to enable build of the PCF cli. Is there any current support for this or near future?

My 10 cents here - I wrote a guide on building and deploying a PCF control using Azure DevOps pipelines.
I hope it helps someone coming accross this in the future!

One additional note. If you want to restore and build in one command, recent versions of msbuild support this with the /restore switch.

So, to restore and build in one command use:

msbuild /t:build /restore

or

msbuild /t:rebuild /restore

Build of PCF projects (pcfproj) & Solution projects can be done via msbuild. The projects are designed in a way so that all the build required dependecies are pulled from NuGet, without needing any additional tools. You can use Azure DevOps to build & pacakge controls by simply calling restore & build as different steps.
1. Restore of the project (msbuild /t:restore)
2. Build (msbuild)

You just need CLI to create/boot the components & the components can independently build via npm (for controls) & msbuild (for control & solution)
