Description

You might have come across slow development cycles due to traditional infrastructure management processes. DevOps project gives you provision on your Azure resources: Application Insights integration, Git Code Repository, and a setup to provide a continuous delivery pipeline. The project helps to deploy applications, add test environment to validate your production, manage the code flow and high quality. Moreover, monitor your progress with proper tracking of the project backlog and other applications. If you’re looking to automate your operations to deliver reliable code & software faster with Azure DevOps then is the perfect Course for you!This comprehensive 2-in-1 course takes a step-by-step practical approach to automating builds and delivering software more reliably with DevOps projects on Azure. Initially, you’ll acquire a deeper insight into implementing DevOps. You’ll understand how containerization technologies work as well as execute tests across your applications with continuous integration. Moving further, you’ll work with DevOps for modern-day application lifecycle management and automate your apps on the Azure Cloud platform. Finally, you’ll configure a full CI/CD pipeline for any Azure app using the language and app framework you want.Towards the end of this course, you'll automate your operations with Azure DevOps to deliver software faster and more reliably with DevOps projects on Azure.Contents and OverviewThis training program includes 2 complete courses, carefully chosen to give you the most comprehensive training possible.The first course, DevOps Fundamentals with Azure, covers learning to automate builds to deploy and deliver code faster and more often. This course will show you how to speed up the release cycle of your IT systems. With a set of automation tools, an orchestration platform, and a few processes, you will do more with fewer resources and become more engaged in the business process. Exploring Azure, you’ll learn various solution architectures with continuous integration and continuous deployment pipeline that push your changes automatically to the cloud, allowing you to deliver value faster to your customers.The second course, Hands-On DevOps on Azure, covers delivering software faster and more reliably with DevOps projects on Azure. In this course, you will delve into the DevOps support on Microsoft Azure and investigate about the teams that can migrate their existing DevOps solutions to Microsoft Azure, using Azure DevOps project. By the end of this course, you will be an expert in testing, deploying, and monitoring your applications with Azure.Towards the end of this course, you'll automate your operations with Azure DevOps to deliver software faster and more reliably with DevOps projects on Azure.About the AuthorsDavid Gonzalez is an enthusiastic engineer and author of a book called Developing Microservices with Node.js (microservices don't work without platform automation).
