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.

Azure Repos

Azure Repos, as part of Azure DevOps, give you unlimited cloud-hosted private repositories so that you can store and control your project code. Simply put, it's a set of version control tools for software projects.

Version control tools are critical for any software project, whether you're a single developer or part of a large team of developers. It helps you centrally store and track code changes so that you can refer to them later on and roll back if required.

Some of the features of Azure Repos are as follows:

  • Support for standard Git tools, which means you can integrate and use it with any Git tools, IDEs, and so on.
  • Integrated WebHooks and API. This is a fully extensible service, and you can use WebHooks/APIs for further automation.
  • Simplified and intelligent search capabilities with semantic code search.
  • Effective collaboration with standard PR and...
