Book Description

Azure
DevOps Server, previously known as Team Foundation Server (TFS), is a
comprehensive on-premise DevOps toolset with a rich ecosystem of open
source plugins. This book is your one stop guide to learn how to
effectively use all of these Azure DevOps services to go from zero to
DevOps.

You will start by building high-quality scalable
software targeting .NET, .NET core or Node.js applications. You will
learn techniques that will help you to set up end-to-end traceability of
your code changes from design through to release. Whether you are
deploying software on-premise or in the cloud in App Service, Functions,
or Azure VMs, this book will help you learn release management
techniques to reduce release failures. Next, you will be able to secure
application configuration by using Azure KeyVault. You will also learn
how to create and release extensions to the Azure DevOps marketplace and
reach million developer ecosystem for feedback. The working extension
samples will allow you to iterate changes in your extensions easily and
release updates to the marketplace quickly.

By the end of this
book, techniques provided in the book will help you break down the
invisible silos between your software development teams. This will
transform you from being a good software development team to an elite
modern cross functional software development team.
