Overview of this book

Whether you are trying to re-architect a legacy app or build a cloud-ready app from scratch, using the Azure ecosystem with .NET and Java technologies helps you to strategize and plan your app modernization process effectively. With this book, you’ll learn how to modernize your applications by using Azure for containerization, DevOps, microservices, and serverless solutions to reduce development time and costs, while also making your applications robust, secure, and scalable. You will delve into improving application efficiency by using container services such as Azure Container Service, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and more. Next, you will learn to modernize your application by implementing DevOps throughout your application development life cycle. You will then focus on increasing the scalability and performance of your overall application with microservices, before learning how to add extra functionality to your application with Azure serverless solutions. Finally, you’ll get up to speed with monitoring and troubleshooting techniques. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to use the Azure ecosystem to refactor, re-architect, and rebuild your web, mobile, and desktop applications.

Understanding Azure DevOps

DevOps is a culture an organization forms with a set of tools and processes that allows it to quickly and effectively build and deliver software applications. DevOps brings the development and operations teams together to build a mechanism that optimizes the application life cycle.

According to Microsoft, DevOps is a compound of development (Dev) and operations (Ops) and is the union of people, processes, and technology so that value can be provided continually to customers. Azure DevOps, Microsoft latest's offering in the DevOps space, allows organizations to plan smarter, collaborate better, and ship faster with a set of modern Dev services.
