With Azure DevOps, you have the option to use only the features you need. For instance you already have your own system for work item tracking or source control, you can still use those along with Azure Pipelines. In this video, Abel and Jeremy walk us through the first class integration that Azure DevOps has with GitHub. You will learn how to connect your GitHub repo to Azure boards and also see how to create a new Azure Pipeline from the GitHub Marketplace [01:35] - Linking Azure Boards to GitHub[03:28] - Referencing a work item in a commit[06:40] - Create a CI/CD pipeline from GitHub[09:40] - Inspecting the YAML build definition Useful Links Github and Azure BoardsDevOps with ASP.NET.

Throughout this series, we have gone through everything from work item tracking, unit testing and even build pipelines. This all happened with CI/CD already setup in Azure DevOps. What if you don't have a pipeline already setup? How do you get started with creating one? In part 7 of our series, Abel and Jeremy show us two ways to scaffold out an Azure DevOps pipeline. We'll see how to use Azure DevOps projects via the Azure portal, which gives us a UI to configure everything. Also, they'll show us how to use the Yo Team generator that allows us to work from the command line.

After your application has gone through a build and has been tested by QA, the next step is to deploy it. This may be as simple as copying your build artifact to a web server. This could also mean publishing your build to multiple targets such a server cluster or a mobile application marketplace. In part 6 of our series, Abel and Jeremy show us how to get our application builds deployed using Azure DevOps. They discuss incorporating approvals, creating custom gates, and even how to deploy your build behind your company firewall [01:24] - Reviewing the release pipeline[04:12] - Available pipeline tasks[06:37] - Working with build artifacts[10:28] - Incorporating database changes[14:39] - Using automated approval gates[15:57] - How the Azure DevOps teams uses gates[18:30] - Creating custom gates using HTTP endpoints[22:24] - Setting up parallel deployments in a pipeline[23:50] - Deploying behind your company firewallEpisode 5 - Unit Testing Useful Links DevOps with ASP.NET Core ebookUse approvals and gates to controls your deploymentCreate a multiple platform pipelineAzure Pipelines extension for Visual Studio Code Start with Azure DevOps for Free: http://dev.azure.com Create a Free Azure Account: https://aka.ms/c9-azurefree

Software testing is an essential practice for producing high quality, production ready software. It helps improve the stability, maintainability, and the confidence that developers have in their code. In part 5 of our DevOps For ASP.NET Developers series, Abel and Jeremy discuss the benefits of software testing and some of the various ways we can approach testing. They show us how to get started writing tests in .NET Core and also how to run them in our Azure Devops pipeline.

Being able to build, test, and deploy are integral parts of the software development lifecycle. Azure Pipelines combines continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) to consistently test and build your code and ship it to any target. In part 4 of our DevOps For ASP.NET Developers series, Abel and Jeremy show us how to get started with creating a build definition using Azure Pipelines. We will learn how to customize a pipeline for our project using tasks from the marketplace, edit the YAML build definition, and also use Yo Team to scaffold a pipeline for a project.
