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.

Who this book is for

From beginners to the most advanced users, anybody looking to better understand how to take advantage of Azure Pipelines can benefit from this book.

The three main personas who are the target audience of this content are as follows:

  • Software developers: They will learn how they can automatically build and deploy their software products, regardless of the target platform, at very early stages to speed up the SDLC
  • DevOps engineers: They will learn how Azure Pipelines can support any automation need, no matter the stage in the process, infusing quality and checks every step of the way
  • Security engineers: They will learn how they can integrate their tools in the CI/CD process to enforce security and quality at the beginning of the build and deployment process
