DevOps pipelines are an efficient means of ensuring the continuous integration and delivery of applications, maintaining clean code, and managing and simplifying production deployment. In this course, you'll explore the key phases of DevOps pipelines, the steps and patterns involved in creating them, and the differences between DevOps pipelines and traditional approaches.
Next, you'll explore the principles of continuous integration and the benefits of containerization in DevOps pipelines. You'll identify the patterns of source code management used to simplify production deployment, the code integration strategies used to manage code repositories for diversified staging deployment, and the different types of tests that can be automated when using DevOps pipelines.
Finally, you'll examine how to implement continuous monitoring and observability in DevOps pipelines, create pipelines using Azure DevOps tools, and use branching strategies to facilitate collaborative development and operations.
