About the course

Hello Cloud Gurus!


Ever since Microsoft introduced Azure DevOps, there have been a lot of people asking… What exactly is Azure DevOps?
Azure DevOps is a fully integrated set of services that together provide you with all the tools necessary for building and maintaining a backlog, hosting your source code repositories, implementing continuous integration, along with delivery and testing workflows for your products before releasing them. In this course you will become familiar with Azure DevOps (formerly known as VSTS and before that, VSO) and explore the five services that make up Azure DevOps:

Azure Boards
Azure Repos
Azure Pipelines
Azure Test Plans
Azure Artifacts
In this course, you’ll learn:

What Azure DevOps is, a brief history of the service and how to set up an instance for your team.
What Azure Boards are and how you can use them to manage your work.
How to use Azure Repos to store your code and manage pull requests.
How to use Azure Pipelines to set up fully-automated builds and releases.
