Leverage the Power of DevOps with Azure Functions

Today, it is very important to be agile and have a quick time to market. Application solutions, especially those in the cloud, change quickly, and it isn't possible to keep pace if a release strategy is adopted based on the manual intervention of a human operator. This is one of the reasons why it may make sense to implement continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) pipelines to bring your latest version into production as quickly as possible.

In this chapter, you will learn how to bring the power of DevOps methodology into your Azure Functions solution using Azure DevOps, its CI/CD pipelines, and its integration with Git and GitHub.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Understanding Azure DevOps and Azure Pipelines
  • Creating a build pipeline for a simple Azure Function and configuring it for CI
  • Creating...
