Implementing Azure DevOps Solutions

By: Henry Been, Maik van der Gaag

Overview of this book

Implementing Azure DevOps Solutions helps DevOps engineers and administrators to leverage Azure DevOps Services to master practices such as continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), containerization, and zero downtime deployments. This book starts with the basics of continuous integration, continuous delivery, and automated deployments. You will then learn how to apply configuration management and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) along with managing databases in DevOps scenarios. Next, you will delve into fitting security and compliance with DevOps. As you advance, you will explore how to instrument applications, and gather metrics to understand application usage and user behavior. The latter part of this book will help you implement a container build strategy and manage Azure Kubernetes Services. Lastly, you will understand how to create your own Azure DevOps organization, along with covering quick tips and tricks to confidently apply effective DevOps practices. By the end of this book, you’ll have gained the knowledge you need to ensure seamless application deployments and business continuity.

Monitoring and detecting runtime security risks and threats

All of the security tools that have been discussed up to this point have focused on preventing shipping vulnerable code to production environments. However, the complete, deployed software solution, including all its support infrastructure is made out of so much more than just the code. On top of that, there are many interactions with a solution that may be unexpected or unplanned. Monitoring all of this continuously in production is necessary, not just to prevent security concerns but to also detect any security concerns coming up. In Azure, one of the tools available for doing just that is Azure Security Center. Azure Security Center is offered via the Azure portal and can be selected as any other service using the menu on the left or by searching for it in the top bar.

After opening Security Center, something similar...
