I think this blog post helps a lot to getting started with using Mesh + Azure pipelines, please take a look into it.

Thanks, yes that's a good start. But all new projects created from VS template use yaml files. These can already contain parameters. During build they get merged and converted to the template.json. Will this step work on the build server, too?

Currently it seems to be easier to check-in the merged-json-template and delete the yaml files.

If I understood correctly you put placeholders for these parameters in the JSON file and they will be overridden by the pipeline during the build - even passwords, if you have to.
