This course is designed for beginners and early‑career professionals who want to understand how to build and deploy applications using CI and CD pipelines in Azure DevOps. It provides a practical, step‑by‑step approach to implementing continuous integration and continuous delivery using real Azure DevOps features.
The course starts by explaining what a CI pipeline is and why continuous integration is a critical part of modern software development. You will then learn how to work with a programming project and push source code to Azure Repos, which acts as the foundation for CI/CD automation.
Next, the course walks you through creating and running a classic build pipeline, helping you understand how builds are triggered, executed, and validated. You will also learn the basics of continuous delivery, including how build artifacts are prepared for deployment.
As you progress, the course explains how to set up Azure App Services and create service connections to securely connect Azure DevOps with your Azure subscription. These steps are essential for deploying applications to the cloud.
Finally, you will learn how to create and run a release pipeline, enabling automated deployment of applications to Azure environments. Each concept is explained clearly with a focus on hands‑on understanding.
To reinforce learning, practice tests are included, allowing you to validate your understanding of CI/CD concepts and Azure DevOps pipelines.
