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.

Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to identify shared components in your solutions: pieces of code that appear not only in multiple locations but are also logical units for reuse. You learned how to use Azure Artifacts feeds for hosting packages that contain these libraries. Furthermore, you learned how to use these hosted packages to build dependent solutions using both Visual Studio and Azure Pipelines. You also learned about using universal packages to share build artifacts between Azure Pipelines and other tools that you might use for CI/CD.

With this knowledge, you will now be able to identify shared components in your solution(s). Once you have identified such a component, you will also be able to isolate it in source control, build it, and publish it to an artifact feed. From here, you can distribute it to one or more consuming solutions. Finally, you are now also...
