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.

Creating a feed

Once you have identified one or more packages that you want to publish, you will need a place to store them. For this, you can use the Azure Artifacts offering. The following diagram shows the structural makeup of Azure Artifacts:

Within Azure Artifacts, you can create one or more feeds where you can store your packages. For each package, you can have multiple versions in a feed. The feed is the level on which you can set up authorizations for publishing packages. Within a feed, you can create one or more views that you can use for setting up authorizations for consuming packages. A specific version of any given package can be in more than one view at the same time. The following sections discuss all these concepts in more detail.
