Azure CI/CD

Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) are practices that help teams deliver software more efficiently and reliably.

  • Continuous Integration (CI): Developers regularly merge their code changes into a central repository. Each integration is automatically built and tested, allowing teams to detect and fix issues early.

  • Continuous Delivery (CD): Extends CI by automatically deploying the code changes to a staging or production environment. This ensures that the code is always in a deployable state.

Azure CI/CD leverages Azure Pipelines to automate the building, testing, and deployment processes, enabling teams to release code faster and with higher quality.

Azure Pipelines

Azure Pipelines: This is a service within Azure DevOps that provides CI/CD capabilities. Azure Pipelines allows you to build, test, and deploy applications automatically. Key features include:

  • Build Automation: Automatically build and compile code from your repositories.

  • Testing: Run automated tests to ensure code quality and functionality.

  • Deployment: Deploy applications to various environments such as Azure, on-premises, or other cloud providers.

  • Multi-Platform Support: Supports various languages, frameworks, and platforms including .NET, Java, Node.js, Python, Android, and iOS.

Azure Pipelines integrates with GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, and other Git repositories, making it easy to set up CI/CD workflows.


Azure Artifacts

Azure Artifacts: This service within Azure DevOps provides integrated package management for managing dependencies and sharing code across teams. It supports various package types including:

  • NuGet: For .NET packages.

  • npm: For JavaScript packages.

  • Maven: For Java packages.

  • Python: For Python packages.

  • Universal Packages: For any other type of files or binaries.

Azure Artifacts allows teams to create, host, and share packages, enabling better dependency management and reducing build times by reusing pre-built packages.


Azure Repos

Azure Repos: This is a set of version control tools within Azure DevOps that provides source code management. It supports two types of version control:

  • Git: A distributed version control system where each developer has a full copy of the repository. Git is widely used and supports various workflows.

  • Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC): A centralized version control system that keeps a single version of each file and provides capabilities for large-scale projects.

Azure Repos provides features such as pull requests, code reviews, branch policies, and built-in CI/CD integration with Azure Pipelines, making it easier for teams to collaborate on code and ensure code quality.


Summary

Azure CI/CD: Practices for continuous integration and continuous delivery using Azure Pipelines.

  • Azure Pipelines: Automates building, testing, and deploying code.

  • Azure Artifacts: Manages and shares packages and dependencies.

  • Azure Repos: Provides version control for source code management.

These tools work together to streamline the development process, improve collaboration, and ensure that code changes are quickly and safely delivered to production.
