Azure DevOps and Continuous Delivery with Git

Microsoft has a toolset to support continuous delivery and DevOps called Azure DevOps. Continuous delivery on Microsoft Azure DevOps enables DevOps engineers to deploy applications, this allows your team to create simple and robust deployment pipelines that can integrate directly with almost any environment.

While we use ASP.NET Core as our technology for demonstration, the techniques learned here can be transferred to any framework that is supported by Azure DevOps' robust toolset. You will also spend some time exploring Git for Source Control.

In this course, you will look at DevOps, setup Azure DevOps organization, and Azure DevOps tools and dashboards. Explore Azure DevOps boards and backlogs, here you will be setting up work items and Sprint management. Next, you will be setting up Git repositories, here you will look at branch policies, branching strategies, and pull requests. After that, you will study and explore the Azure DevOps Build and Release pipelines in detail.

Finally, you will look at Azure DevOps Test Plans.

By the end of this course, you should have a fundamental understanding of what Microsoft Azure DevOps brings to the table and how you can introduce it to your organization to streamline your development and value stream team efforts.
