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.

Building images in Azure DevOps and running them in Azure

To support continuous integration and continuous delivery, the source files need to be shared in a repository. So, let's share the resources in Azure Repos and try to build our container by using Azure Pipelines. After building the container image, a place to store the images and run the container are also required. Within the Azure platform, there are two perfect services for this scenario:

  • Azure Container Registry: This service is a managed private Docker registry based on the open source Docker Registry. Here, you can maintain and register container images.
  • Azure Container Instance: The Azure Container Instance, also referred to as ACI, is a solution for running isolated containers without a lot of management.
For the simplicity of this guide, the files are already added to the repository and the Azure resource...
