DevOps solution for Azure WebApps, Hands-on explanation of design and build process of decent CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps.
Course Description
In this course, we will have a quick overview of the possible solution architecture for Azure Web Apps and create build and deployment pipelines from scratch.
It will be a hands-on exercise, and I will give a quick explanation of the Azure services that will be used, how to set up an Azure DevOps organization and project, what the purpose of pipelines is, and finally, describe stage-by-job pipelines that are production-ready. We will also discuss the differences between infrastructure and application codes and what can be shared for their respective pipelines.
To give a bit more details, we will check Terraform code to build web applications on Azure and use it between different environments. For the business application, we will have an Angular application that will be built as a Docker image, pushed to Docker Hub, and then deployed as a container.
The whole exercise is designed to be a real-life scenario, so we will not use IDE to deploy code to “production” – everything will be automated! Those pipelines we cover can be used as a jump-start for bigger enterprise projects (in fact, they are based on my experience and have evolved over many years). They are also a great learning exercise for understanding what DevOps brings to the business.
This course is intended for students who want to explore the possibilities of DevOps careers and learn how to build a solid foundation for their day-to-day work. There are no strong requirements to start this course; all the terms and ideas are explained. Even more, if there are any questions, I am happy to answer them!
