Book Description

Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) are ubiquitous concepts in modern development. Azure Pipelines is one of the most popular services that you can utilize for CI/CD, and this book shows you how it works by taking you through the process of building and automating CI/CD systems using Azure Pipelines and YAML, simplifying integration with Azure resources and reducing human error.

You’ll begin by getting an overview of Azure Pipelines and why you should use it. Next, the book helps you get to grips with build and release pipelines, and then builds upon this by introducing the extensive power of YAML syntax, which you can use to implement and configure any task you can think of. As you advance, you’ll discover how to integrate Infrastructure as Code tools, such as Terraform, and perform code analysis with SonarQube. In the concluding chapters, you’ll delve into real-life scenarios and hands-on implementation tasks with Microsoft Azure services, AWS, and cross-mobile application with Flutter, Google Firebase, and more.

By the end of this book, you’ll be able to design and build CI/CD systems using Azure Pipelines with consummate ease, write code using YAML, and configure any task that comes to mind.

What you will learn

• Create multiple jobs, stages, and tasks on the Azure DevOps portal
• Use YAML syntax for Node.js, .NET, Docker, and SQL Server tasks
• Automate microservice applications on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clusters
• Deploy Docker applications on AWS container services
• Use SonarQube and Jenkins for security and artifacts
• Implement CI/CD on Flutter-based mobile applications
• Utilize Azure Key Vault secrets in Azure Pipelines
• Build a Node.js application in Azure Container Instances
