Azure Development and DevOps

Development and DevOps

Development: 

This refers to the process of creating software applications. It involves writing, testing, and maintaining the code that makes up software programs. Developers use various programming languages, tools, and methodologies to build applications that solve specific problems or perform specific tasks.

DevOps: 

This is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops). The goal of DevOps is to shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high software quality. DevOps involves collaboration between developers and operations teams to automate and streamline the processes of building, testing, and deploying software.


Azure DevOps Services

Azure DevOps Services: This is a suite of development tools provided by Microsoft Azure. It offers a range of services to support the entire software development lifecycle, including:

  • Azure Repos: Source code repositories that support Git and Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC).

  • Azure Pipelines: Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines to build, test, and deploy code automatically.

  • Azure Boards: Agile planning tools to help manage software projects, including work items, backlogs, and sprints.

  • Azure Test Plans: Manual and exploratory testing tools.

  • Azure Artifacts: Package management for managing dependencies and sharing code.


Azure DevTest Labs

Azure DevTest Labs: This is a service provided by Microsoft Azure that allows developers and testers to quickly create environments in Azure while minimizing waste and controlling costs. Azure DevTest Labs provides:

  • Self-service environments: Quickly create pre-configured environments for testing and development.

  • Cost control: Set policies and schedules to automatically shut down and start up labs to save costs.

  • Integration: Works with your existing tools and integrates with Azure DevOps for continuous integration and delivery.


GitHub Actions for Azure

GitHub Actions for Azure: GitHub Actions is a feature of GitHub that allows you to automate workflows directly in your GitHub repository. GitHub Actions for Azure provides pre-built actions to integrate Azure services into your workflows. You can use these actions to:

  • Deploy applications to Azure: Automate the deployment of your applications to Azure services like Azure App Service, Azure Functions, and Azure Kubernetes Service.

  • Manage Azure resources: Automate the creation, update, and deletion of Azure resources using Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates and the Azure CLI.

  • CI/CD pipelines: Build continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines that deploy code changes to Azure automatically.

These tools and services help streamline the software development process, improve collaboration, and automate repetitive tasks, making it easier to build, test, and deploy applications efficiently.
