Azure Devops CI/CD Pipelines with YAML | Practical Demos

Create and manage Azure DevOps repositories within your project, including git-based repositories, an empty default repository named after the project, and a test repo with a readme.

Create a YAML-based Azure DevOps build pipeline in the main repository, demonstrating hello world tasks, stages, and checkout behavior, with two setup options.

Create and configure release pipelines to deploy build artifacts across environments, define stages and variables, enforce pre-deployment approvals, and trigger releases from builds with continuous deployment.

Master continuous integration by configuring build triggers for GitHub pipelines to run automatically on commits, branches, PRs, and tags, using include and exclude rules.

Learn to trigger Azure DevOps pipelines via the REST API and post JSON bodies. The lecture demonstrates using personal access tokens, secure secret storage, and triggering pipelines from another pipeline.

Learn to build and run unit tests in a two-stage Azure DevOps pipeline using a Visual Studio solution with a console app and a test project, dotnet test.

Harness conditions in Azure DevOps pipelines with yaml. Use parameters and variables to run tasks conditionally, including pre compiled rules that skip tasks at compile time.

Explore multi repo checkout in azure devops pipelines by downloading multiple repositories from different sources, including GitHub, via service connections and aliases, with resource triggers and branch refs.

Show how to create a package feed in Azure DevOps, build and package a .NET class library, and push NuGet or npm packages to the feed, with permission tips.

Explore how Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines orchestrate jobs and stages using the depends on and condition keywords to control execution, enabling rollback, parameter-driven outcomes, and continue on error.

Explore dynamic dependencies between jobs and stages in Azure DevOps pipelines using depends on, driven by a user-selected environment to run stage-specific deployments.

Configure pipeline resources in Azure DevOps to trigger a second pipeline automatically after the first finishes.

Explore how to create modular Azure DevOps YAML pipelines using templates, variables, and parameter passing to separate logic from configuration.

Build a Node.js app in an Azure DevOps pipeline by checking out code and installing dependencies with npm. Run npm build to execute index.js and show the console log.

Build and restore a dotnet web api into a container using a Dockerfile from an ASP.NET 7 base, then publish the image to Azure container registry via a service connection.

Deploy and manage containerised applications on Azure Kubernetes Service using Azure DevOps, creating a service connection, obtaining cluster credentials, and applying YAML deployments in a dedicated namespace.

Create an aws vpc with terraform via azure devops, including iam user setup, credentials, a service connection, and a three-step pipeline for terraform init and apply in eu west 1.

Explore deploying Azure resources with Terraform as code, configured via an Azure DevOps service connection, and applying plans to create virtual machines, networks, and storage state.

Execute python scripts in Azure DevOps pipelines by using the Python task, running inline code or scripts located in your repository, and managing dependencies like pandas.

Demonstrates installing a custom Node.js on a Windows build agent using a PowerShell script, downloading with Invoke-WebRequest, performing a silent install, and verifying versions.

Integrate Apache JMeter into Azure DevOps pipelines to run load and performance tests with a JMC definition file, export results, and publish JUnit-formatted test results.

Set up a self-hosted Azure DevOps agent inside a Docker container on Linux, building a custom image, and registering the container agent to a private pool using a token.
