Overview of this book

Developing applications for the cloud involves changing development methodologies and procedures. Continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) processes are a must today, but are often difficult to implement and adopt. Azure DevOps is a Microsoft Azure cloud service that enhances your application development life cycle and enables DevOps capabilities. Starting with a comprehensive product overview, this book helps you to understand Azure DevOps and apply DevOps techniques to your development projects. You'll find out how to adopt DevOps techniques for your development processes by using built-in Azure DevOps tools. Throughout the course of this book, you'll also discover how to manage a project with the help of project management techniques such as Agile and Scrum, and then progress toward development aspects such as source code management, build pipelines, code testing and artifacts, release pipelines, and GitHub integration. As you learn how to implement DevOps practices, this book will also provide you with real-world examples and scenarios of DevOps adoption. By the end of this DevOps book, you will have learned how to adopt and implement Azure DevOps features in your real-world development processes.

Summary

In this chapter, we looked at how to use GitHub and Azure DevOps together to build an integrated software development platform for our software teams. To do this, we learned how to set up and manage Azure DevOps pipelines from GitHub, as well as build and integrate CI/CD solutions.

We also learned about how to plan and track our work better in Azure Boards while doing software development in GitHub. You should now be able to use GitHub and Azure DevOps together and improve your overall productivity and DevOps experience. You should also be able to set up integration between the two services and use it in your daily DevOps work.

In the next chapter, we'll look at several real-world CI/CD examples with the help of Azure DevOps.
