Summary


As you can see, there's a rich process and tools to help with deploying a solution in Azure. We also learned how Azure DevOps assists with bringing the two sides of the house together to help with the solution delivery. At the end of the day, there is no true silver bullet, but we can get close. 

There is a key to remember on your journey to understanding:

  • The journey to DevOps, above all, is a culture change 
  • DevOps is less about what we do and more about how we do it 
  • DevOps is everyone's job 
  • It’s important to realize that more stuff is not the solution to a successful DevOps transition or any cultural transition for that matter 

The Azure DevOps is a great tool; now let's take the opportunity to put all this together in the upcoming chapter.
