Azure DevOps is a SaaS platform that provides tools for deploying software using DevOps techniques generally within Agile software delivery projects. DevOps is useful for gathering requirements, building the solution, performing daily “integration builds”, and having deliverable end-of-sprint demos. The key to building software today versus several years ago is that we should automate as much as possible. Azure DevOps provides excellent tooling to automate and implement automation results in better quality, reduced timelines. Building software is easy as long as you have great people and precise requirements. Agile practices and DevOps processes and tooling can help get you to the desired state.
- Azure Boards are great for planning and getting the requirements cleanly broken down.
- Visual Studio coupled with Azure boards items with Azure Repos (source control options are GitHub & TFVS) is ideal for the development using most languages such as C#, NodesJS, Angular, React, TypeScript.
- Azure Pipelines are good at deploying solutions by setting up the infrastructure (I prefer to use PaaS and get out of the Infrastructure world, using ARM templates) and deploying code with the appropriate DTAP environment configuration. Azure Test Plans are used to verify builds.
- Monitor and Alert – Azure Monitor/App Insights is ideal for monitoring the infrastructure and operating code to detect issues early.
- Azure Artifacts help create and share Nuget code packages.
