WHAT IS DEVOPS?
People. Process. Technology.

“
DevOps is the union of
people, process, and
technology to enable Continuous
Delivery
continuous delivery of
value to your end users.
DEVOPS CONSISTS OF CULTURE, PRACTICES, &
TOOLS
Culture Practices Tools
• Dev & ops coming • Microservices based • Help you automate the
together architecture major DevOps phases
No more “silos”
to support faster,
• • CI/CD – Continuous
smaller releases
• Shared responsibility integration and
continuous delivery • Source
• Ownership • Build
• Infrastructure as code
• Visibility and • Test
communication • Monitoring and logging • Deploy
• Monitor
DEVOPS PRACTICES
Microservices

Moving away from monolithic application architecture to many individual services

DEVOPS PRACTICES
Infrastructure as code
IaC is a key DevOps practice and is used in conjunction with continuous delivery.
Model your resources using Azure Resource Manager.

Continuous Integration/Continous Delivery is a Essential!

Everything is code & Everything goes into a repository

 WHAT IS CI/CD?

#ITDEVCONNECTIONS | ITDEVCONNECTIONS.COM
WHAT TECHNOLOGIES DO I NEED TO SUPPORT DEVOPS?
DevOps brings together people, processes, and technology, automating software delivery to provide continuous
value to your users. Using Azure DevOps, you can deliver software faster and more reliably - no matter how big
your IT department or what tools you’re using.

Continuous integration (CI) Continuous Deployment (CD) Continuous Learning & Monitoring

• Improve software development quality and
speed.
• When you use Azure Pipeliens or Jenkins
to build apps in the cloud and deploy to
Azure, each time you commit code, it’s
automatically built and tested and bugs are
detected faster.
• By combining continuous integration and
infrastructure as code (IaC), you’ll achieve
identical deployments and the confidence
to deploy to production at any time.
• With continuous deployment, you can
automate the entire process from code
commit to production if your CI/CD tests
are successful.
• With Azure Application Insights you can
identify how your applications are
performing and test if the recent
deployment made things better or worse.
• Using CI/CD practices, paired with monitoring
tools, you’ll be able to safely deliver features
to your customers as soon as they’re
ready.
MAJOR PHASES OF RELEASE AND MONITOR

Source Build Test Deploy Monitor

• Check-in • Compile code • Integration • Deployment to • Monitor code

source code • Unit tests tests with production in production
such as .cs • Style checkers other systems environments to quickly
files. • Code metrics • Load testing detect unusual
• Peer review • Create • UI tests activity or
new code container • Penetration errors

AZURE PIPELINES
Cloud-hosted pipelines for Linux, Windows and
macOS, with unlimited minutes for open source

Any language, any platform, any cloud

Build, test, and deploy Node.js, Python, 
Java, PHP,
Ruby, C/C++, .NET, Android, and iOS apps. Run in
parallel on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Deploy to
Azure, AWS, GCP or on-premises

Extensible
Use a range of build, test, and deployment tasks –
hundreds of extensions from Slack to SonarCloud.
Support for YAML, reporting and more

Containers and Kubernetes

Build and push images to container registries like
Docker Hub and Azure Container Registry. Deploy
containers to individual hosts or Kubernetes.

Best-in-class for open source

Fast CI/CD for every open source project. Azure
Pipelines gives 10 free concurrent jobs with unlimited
build minutes to all open source projects.

 https://azure.com/pipelines
Integrated with GitHub

Azure Pipelines available now to

any developer from the GitHub
Marketplace
Azure Boards
Flexible work tracking with Kanban boards,
backlogs, team dashboards, and custom reporting

Connected from idea to release

All your code changes are linked directly to your work
items, so you can track all your ideas at every stage in
the development process to keep your team aligned.

Scrum ready
Use built-in scrum boards and planning 
tools to help
your teams run sprints, stand-ups, and planning
meetings.

Project insights
Use our analytics tools and dashboard widgets to
bring you and your team new insights into the health
and status of your project.

Azure Test Plans
Get end-to-end traceability. Run tests and log
defects from your browser. Track and assess quality
throughout your testing lifecycle.

Capture rich data

Make your defects actionable by capturing rich
scenario data as you execute tests. Explore user
stories without test cases or test steps. You can create
test cases directly from your exploratory test sessions.

Hybrid testing
Test your application where it lives. Complete scripted
tests across desktop or web scenarios. Test on-
premises application from the cloud and vice-versa

On demand user acceptance testing

Leverage the same test tools across your engineers
and user acceptance testing stakeholders. Pay for the
tools only when you need them.
