Designing Azure DevOps CI/CD Pipelines for Modern Applications

In today's fast-paced software landscape, manual deployments are a major bottleneck. Transitioning to automated workflows is essential for delivering reliable, high-quality software at scale. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of modern DevOps, teaching you how to design robust Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) pipelines. You will gain the skills to automate build, test, and deployment stages for a variety of application stacks and infrastructure setups. What you'll learn: - Understand the core concepts of DevOps, version control integration, and pipeline architecture. - Configure CI/CD pipelines for diverse application environments, including .NET, Node.js, and Java. - Deploy containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes orchestration. - Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles using Terraform and Bicep templates. - Integrate database deployments and automate migrations safely within your release pipelines. - Secure your workflows by managing secrets with Azure Key Vault and conducting static code analysis. You will start with fundamental DevOps definitions and pipeline structures before progressing to multi-stage deployment scenarios. Through clear explanations and practical configuration examples, you will explore how to connect code repositories to cloud environments seamlessly. This course is designed for software developers, system administrators, and aspiring DevOps engineers who are new to automation pipelines. No prior DevOps experience is required.
