In this lecture, you'll learn how to effectively plan and manage Agile projects using GitHub Projects and Azure Boards. We will explore the features and integrations of these tools to help you track work, manage backlogs, and visualize progress.
In this lecture, you'll explore the fundamentals of source control and its critical role in DevOps practices. We will cover the basics of version control systems, focusing on Git and its capabilities. Learn how to manage code changes, track revisions, and collaborate efficiently with your team.
In this lecture, you'll dive into the different types of source control systems and their respective advantages and use cases. We will compare centralized version control systems (CVCS) like Subversion (SVN) with distributed version control systems (DVCS) such as Git.
In this lecture, you'll learn how to effectively utilize Azure Repos and GitHub for source control and collaboration. We will guide you through setting up repositories, managing branches, and implementing pull requests. Discover how to integrate these tools into your DevOps workflows to enhance code management, collaboration, and automation.
n this lecture, you'll explore the unique challenges and strategies for implementing DevOps in an enterprise environment. We will cover best practices for scaling DevOps processes, managing complex dependencies, and ensuring compliance with organizational policies.
In this lecture, you'll learn best practices for structuring your Git repository to optimize collaboration, maintainability, and scalability. We will cover various repository strategies such as monorepos and multi-repos, as well as techniques for organizing files and directories.
In this lecture, you'll delve into managing Git branches and workflows to facilitate efficient and organized development processes. We will cover branching strategies such as Git Flow, GitHub Flow, and trunk-based development, highlighting their use cases and benefits.
In this lecture, you'll learn how to use pull requests in Azure Repos to enhance collaboration and code quality within your team. We will guide you through creating and managing pull requests, conducting code reviews, and incorporating feedback.
In this lecture, you'll explore the concept of Git hooks and how they can automate tasks in your development workflow. We will cover the different types of Git hooks, including client-side and server-side hooks, and demonstrate how to set them up and configure them for various use cases.
In this lecture, you'll learn how to implement and foster an inner source culture within your organization. We will explain the concept of inner source, where development practices and collaboration models from open-source communities are applied internally.
In this lecture, you'll learn essential practices for managing Git repositories effectively. We will cover topics such as repository creation, organization, and maintenance.
In this lecture, you'll learn how to recognize and manage technical debt within your projects. We will discuss what technical debt is, how it accumulates, and its impact on software quality and team productivity.
The AZ-400 course is designed for IT professionals who want to demonstrate expertise in developing and implementing DevOps practices for continuous integration, delivery, and monitoring using Microsoft Azure technologies.
This course prepares you for the AZ-400 certification exam, which validates your ability to implement DevOps processes that improve collaboration, code quality, and delivery speed.
Course Objectives:
Understand DevOps Practices:
Learn the principles and practices of DevOps, including version control, continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), infrastructure as code, configuration management, and monitoring.
Develop and Implement CI/CD Pipelines:
Gain hands-on experience in designing, implementing, and managing CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps tools such as Azure Pipelines, GitHub Actions, and Jenkins.
Automate Infrastructure Deployment:
Learn to use infrastructure as code tools like Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates, Terraform, and Ansible to automate the deployment and management of infrastructure.
Monitor and Optimize DevOps Processes:
Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions to ensure application performance and reliability. Use Azure Monitor, Azure Application Insights, and Log Analytics for comprehensive monitoring.
Manage Source Control:
Understand and use Git for version control. Learn branching strategies, repository management, and how to manage code in a DevOps environment.
Implement Security and Compliance:
Integrate security and compliance into your DevOps processes using practices like DevSecOps. Ensure your applications and infrastructure are secure and compliant with industry standards.
Collaborate and Communicate:
Foster collaboration and communication among development, operations, and other stakeholders. Use tools like Azure Boards, Slack, and Microsoft Teams to enhance team coordination and productivity.
Develop with Continuous Feedback:
Implement continuous feedback mechanisms to gather insights and improve your applications. Use telemetry, user feedback, and other data sources to drive enhancements and iterations.
