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.

Exploring other tools

There are many other tools available for doing binary management. Three commonly used products are MyGet, Artifactory, and Azure Container Registry (ACR). The features they deliver do overlap, but they also have specific points at which they excel.

MyGet is an alternative location for hosting your NuGet packages. MyGet allows you to create both public and private feeds that are managed by you. MyGet also supports defining upstream sources and delivers built-in dependency scanning to give you continuous feedback on the level of security of your dependencies.

Since MyGet is an implementation of the NuGet protocol, you can publish and use packages using the default NuGet tasks from Azure Pipelines...
