    Study Notes

    • Azure DevOps is a popular DevOps platform that offers a one-stop shop for implementing DevOps processes in projects.
    • Formerly known as Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio Team Services, it is now known as Azure DevOps.
    • Azure DevOps covers the entire software development lifecycle with features for each part of the process.
    • Azure Boards is used to create tasks, assign them, track progress, and communicate within Agile or Scrum workflows.
    • Azure Repositories host code where developers collaborate, create branches, and use pull requests for code review.
    • Azure Pipelines allow for Continuous Integration by automating testing, building, and packaging applications using YAML scripts or tasks.
    • Jobs in Azure Pipelines group multiple steps together, which can be defined for different environments using agents from a pool.
    • Azure Artifacts store different types of artifacts like Maven packages, NuGet packages, or NPM packages produced in the build pipeline.
    • Deployment in Azure DevOps involves creating stages for building and deploying applications, with the ability to reuse pipeline logic using templates.
    • Environments in Azure DevOps abstract deployment environments, allowing for better overview and tracking of deployment history per environment.- Azure DevOps is a platform that covers the entire CI/CD process, including testing before production deployment.
    • In Azure DevOps, there is a dedicated section for creating and managing test cases, both manual and automated.

    • The core of Azure DevOps is the Azure DevOps services, where configurations, pipelines, and repositories are managed.
    • Pipeline tasks in Azure DevOps run on separate machines called agents, which can be managed by Microsoft as managed agents or configured as self-hosted agents by companies for more control.
    • Azure DevOps offers a free tier to get started, providing a certain amount of free resources, including using managed agents for pipeline jobs.
    • Service connections in Azure DevOps simplify managing access to external platforms by automatically creating short-lived credentials when connecting to external services.
    • Azure DevOps aims to be a complete DevOps platform, offering features beyond just CI/CD tools like Jenkins or CircleCI.
    • Azure DevOps can be compared to GitLab, as both provide similar features and aim to be all-in-one DevOps platforms.
    • In the comparison with AWS, Azure and AWS are separate cloud platforms but can be integrated for various use cases, with Azure DevOps running on Azure platform.
    • While Azure DevOps is popular among companies using Microsoft services, open-source solutions like Jenkins and GitLab are still commonly preferred in the industry.
