Kickstarting Your Azure Pipeline with Templates

Explore how to scale CI/CD pipelines using Azure pipeline templates in this conference talk from GOTOpia February 2021. Learn from ING Tech Romania's engineering team as they share their approach to building and deploying JVM applications in the cloud using templates developed in Azure DevOps. Discover solutions to common pipeline problems, and delve into the challenges of using templates, including modularity, flexibility, quality, maintainability, and the Azure DevOps learning curve. Gain insights on creating scalable, parameterized pipelines that can be unit tested, ensure pipeline immutability, and serve as a consistent and transparent single source of truth. Understand how to automate pipeline processes end-to-end, from code to runtime, while maintaining low maintenance requirements, implementing versioning, and ensuring flexibility for different languages and applications.
