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.

Dependency Management

In part one of this book, you learned how to continuously deploy your application. While doing so, one of the main issues you might run into is that the total time it takes to build your application is too long. Due to this, developers have to wait a long time for feedback on their changes. One way of coping with this is by splitting your solutions up into multiple builds.

One approach to this is by introducing package management. Often, you will find that you want to reuse code from a previous project in a new project. Instead of copying and pasting this code from one project to another, you can create a shared library out of it. In this chapter, you will learn how to identify shared components and how to make them reusable using Azure Artifacts. In addition to this, you will learn how you can use Azure Artifacts for storing pipeline artifacts when working...
