Learning Azure DevOps

<p>To help cloud professionals make the most of the Azure DevOps platform Learning Azure DevOps is a practical book that walks them through the process step-by-step. <strong>This book goes over all the bases of DevOps including how to automate crucial tasks deploy infrastructure as code (IaC) and set up and manage CI/CD pipelines</strong>.</p><p><br></p><p>At the outset the chapters will teach readers how to <strong>create Azure DevOps projects and link their repositories to VCSes like GitHub</strong>. Any <strong>application's build test and deployment processes including Spring Boot's can be automated with Azure Pipelines by configuring Pipeline as Code using YAML</strong>. To make sure that professionals can manage scalable cloud-native apps we also cover <strong>advanced topics like containerizing apps with Docker and deploying them to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)</strong>. <strong>Using frameworks such as JUnit Mockito and Postman the book goes even further into automated testing to guarantee quality assurance and continuous testing</strong>. It teaches to <strong>automate backup and disaster recovery procedures for resilient operations</strong> and to <strong>use Flyway to perform schema migrations</strong>.</p><p><br></p><p>Additionally teams are guided to <strong>work efficiently together through Azure Boards shared pipelines and centralized infrastructure management</strong> highlighting collaboration. Also covered is <strong>Azure DevOps Analytics</strong> which readers can use <strong>to keep tabs on their projects and teams' performance using real-time dashboards</strong>.</p><p><br></p><h4><strong>Key Learnings</strong></h4><p>Integrate with Git for version control and set up Azure DevOps projects.</p><p>Develop YAML-based Pipeline as Code to streamline the process of automating builds tests and deployments.</p><p>Dockerize your apps and then launch them on AKS.</p><p>Utilize Azure Boards and Project Boards to manage and monitor work items tasks and user stories.</p><p>Add Postman JUnit and Mockito to your continuous integration pipelines to automate your application testing.</p><p>Integrate Flyway into your Azure Pipelines to automate database schema migrations and achieve continuous delivery.</p><p>Facilitate cross-team and cross-project cooperation by establishing shared pipelines and resources.</p><p>Use Azure DevOps Analytics and performance insights for project management and monitoring.</p><p>Deploy backups and failover procedures automatically in Azure DevOps.</p><p>Use Terraform in conjunction with Azure Pipelines to deploy cloud-based IaC.</p><p><br></p><h4><strong>Table of Content</strong></h4><ol><li data-list=ordered><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>Getting Started with Azure DevOps</li><li data-list=ordered><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>Pipeline as Code with YAML</li><li data-list=ordered><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>Continuous Integration with Azure Pipelines</li><li data-list=ordered><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>Continuous Delivery with Azure Pipelines</li><li data-list=ordered><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>Managing Dependencies with Azure Artifacts</li><li data-list=ordered><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>Testing and Quality Assurance with Azure Test Plans</li><li data-list=ordered><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>Infrastructure Automation with Azure Pipelines</li><li data-list=ordered><span class=ql-ui contenteditable=false></span>Collaboration and Team Management in Azure DevOps</li></ol><p><br></p>
