Description

Azure DevOps provides a set of cloud-hosted tools that software teams can use as an end-to-end solution to plan, develop, test, and deliver value in the form of working software. Azure Pipelines automatically builds, tests, and deploys code projects in the cloud or on-prem to enable continuous feedback. This one-day course demonstrates how an agile team can configure and use Azure Pipelines to effectively build, test, and deploy software while practicing Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD). To maximize learning, students will work in teams, in a common Azure DevOps project, on a common case study

Who Should Attend:

This course is appropriate for all members of a software development team, especially those who are actively involved in automating the building, testing, and deploying of software. This course will also provide value for individuals outside the development team (managers, IT, operations, and other stakeholders) who want hands-on exposure to the capabilities of Azure Pipelines. Ideally, attendees should have some experience with Azure DevOps. Understanding of C# and .NET 6.0 will be beneficial, but is not required.
