What you will learn
Overview
Azure DevOps provides a set of cloud-hosted tools that software teams can use as an end-to-end solution to plan, develop, test, and deliver value in the form of working software.
Azure Pipelines automatically builds, tests, and deploys code projects in the cloud or on-prem to enable continuous feedback.
This one-day course demonstrates how an agile team can configure and use Azure Pipelines to effectively build, test, and deploy software while practicing Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD).
To maximize learning, students will work in teams, in a common Azure DevOps project, on a common case study.
Target Audience
This course is appropriate for all members of a software development team, especially those who are actively involved in automating the building, testing, and deploying of software. This course will also provide value for individuals outside the development team (managers, IT, operations, and other stakeholders) who want hands-on exposure to the capabilities of Azure Pipelines. Ideally, attendees should have some experience with Azure DevOps. Understanding of C# and .NET 6.0 will be beneficial but is not required.
Audience
This course contains several modules, progressively explaining how to use Azure pipelines to automate the building, testing and deploying of software whilst practicing continuous integration and continuous delivery.
Skills Gained
By completing the CI/CD Using Azure Pipelines QACICD course participants will gain practical knowledge, configuration skills, implementation techniques and best practice understanding relevant to real enterprise environments.

Thinking about Onsite?
If you need training for 3 or more people, you should ask us about onsite training. Putting aside the obvious location benefit, content can be customised to better meet your business objectives and more can be covered than in a public classroom. It's a cost-effective option. One-to-one training can be delivered too, at reasonable rates.
Submit an enquiry from any page on this site and let us know you are interested in the requirements box, or simply mention it when we contact you.
