azure devops

These books present a DevOps model for .NET applications on Azure that covers: tracking code in Azure Repos, different build types and validation, provisioning and configuring environments, deploying release candidates across environments, and monitoring deployed software to close the feedback loop.

They cover container build strategies and Azure container services, offering guidance on implementing container solutions and managing Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) deployments and operations.

They teach setting up cloud accounts, identity and access control, storage and networking (including VPNs), building web and containerized apps, serverless/workflow automation, creating CI/CD pipelines, and basic cost optimization techniques.

Deployment books describe two broad categories: standalone CI/CD and build-and-release tools that focus on specific pipeline tasks, and integrated developer platforms that provide end-to-end workflows covering code hosting, builds, releases, and monitoring.

Most titles are paperback and in English. Listed page counts range from about 126 to 490 pages, depending on the book and depth of coverage.

They emphasize implementing CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, configuration and release management, Infrastructure as Code, application monitoring and production-to-development feedback loops, container build strategies, and continuous improvement practices.

They offer step-by-step projects such as cloud account setup, building web apps, storage and networking configuration, identity and access control tasks, containerized solution builds, serverless workflow implementations, and creating CI/CD pipelines to form a practical project portfolio.
