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.

Source control systems

There are many source control systems in use, but in this chapter, we will only be looking at the three currently most used. They are the following:

  • Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC)
  • Git
  • Subversion

Within Azure DevOps, only TVFC and Git are available. Subversion is a centralized source control system that is created by the Apache Foundation. In the upcoming subsections, we'll take a look at TFVC and Git in more detail and learn how to migrate sources between them. Subversion is discussed at the end of this chapter in the Other tools for source control section.
