Overview of this book

Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) are ubiquitous concepts in modern development. Azure Pipelines is one of the most popular services that you can utilize for CI/CD, and this book shows you how it works by taking you through the process of building and automating CI/CD systems using Azure Pipelines and YAML, simplifying integration with Azure resources and reducing human error. You’ll begin by getting an overview of Azure Pipelines and why you should use it. Next, the book helps you get to grips with build and release pipelines, and then builds upon this by introducing the extensive power of YAML syntax, which you can use to implement and configure any task you can think of. As you advance, you’ll discover how to integrate Infrastructure as Code tools, such as Terraform, and perform code analysis with SonarQube. In the concluding chapters, you’ll delve into real-life scenarios and hands-on implementation tasks with Microsoft Azure services, AWS, and cross-mobile application with Flutter, Google Firebase, and more. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to design and build CI/CD systems using Azure Pipelines with consummate ease, write code using YAML, and configure any task that comes to mind.

Technical requirements

You can find the code for this chapter at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Implementing-CI-CD-Using-Azure-Pipelines/tree/main/ch10.

To complete the tasks described in this chapter, you will need the following:

  • Access to an AWS account and service connection: It is assumed that you completed the Access to an AWS account and Creating a service connection to AWS sections in Chapter 8. If you skipped these, please go back and complete those steps to be able to complete this chapter.
  • The sample repository imported: It is also assumed that you have already imported the sample repository from GitHub. If you haven’t done so, check out Chapter 9 to learn how to complete this.

Important note

If at any moment you get stuck while working on the pipelines, review the complete code available in the complete branch.

Now that we have the technical requirements covered, let’s review the solution architecture.
