Implementing CI/CD Using Azure Pipelines: Manage and automate the secure flexible deployment of applications using real-world use cases

Leverage Azure Pipelines to build, test, monitor, and deploy CI/CD solutions on Azure, AWS, and Flutter mobile apps while integrating with tools like Jenkins and SonarQube using best practicesKey FeaturesDevelop automated end-to-end CI/CD solutions with Azure PipelinesLearn how to implement and configure your pipeline using real-world examples and scenariosGain the skills you need to efficiently develop and deploy your organization’s softwarePurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook DescriptionContinuous 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 learnCreate multiple jobs, stages, and tasks on the Azure DevOps portalUse YAML syntax for Node.js, .NET, Docker, and SQL Server tasksAutomate microservice applications on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) clustersDeploy Docker applications on AWS container servicesUse SonarQube and Jenkins for security and artifactsImplement CI/CD on Flutter-based mobile applicationsUtilize Azure Key Vault secrets in Azure PipelinesBuild a Node.js application in Azure Container InstancesWho this book is forThis book is for DevOps engineers, release engineers, SREs, application developers, and sysadmins looking to manage CI/CD using Azure Pipelines with the help of real-world use cases.
