Hosting plans provide the hardware resources for apps, help rightsize the machine, and enable scaling when needed.

Explore Azure hosting plans and how features like load balancer, storage, backups, custom domains, ssl, auto-scale, and traffic manager shape deploying and scaling a web application.

Configure a hosting plan that is size to fit and set scaling rules; scaling up and out lets you match workload to customer requirements.

Plan consistent releases with app services deployment options that trigger releases on code changes, and use staging slots with a swap to move deployments through environments to production.

Publish Azure app services using web deploy or FTP, connect via source control web hooks, and manage publishing profiles and credentials; use deployment slots for staging and swapping.

Explore Azure deployments with slots and test environments, deployment credentials, and slot swapping; configure continuous delivery from GitHub and load balance traffic across slots for production testing.

Explore how to use Azure App Service deployment features, including deployment slots and continuous deployment triggered by code changes.

Explore the monitoring features of Azure App Services to gain visibility into how your application runs, enabling performance tracking and issue diagnosis during deployment.

Explore monitoring in Azure app services with alerts, diagnostic logs, logs streaming, process explorer, and metrics per instance, plus storage options and proactive notifications to optimize performance.

Explore multiple monitoring views in Azure: watch the live stream of events, inspect service logs, and drill into details from the process explore.

Explore how Application Insights, an extensible application performance management service, provides visibility into client and server performance and tools to deep-dive into application runs.

Use application insights to capture analytics in a repository, visualize performance with charts, and feed dev ops with insights by tracking load times, page views, and availability across platforms.

Explore how Application Insights in Azure acts as an analytics repository and sdk suite to capture, visualize, and optimize server and client side performance through metrics, maps, and availability tests.

Explore how Application Insights offers simple setup and instrumentation, enabling deep analytics with rich graphics to monitor how your application performs.

Explore how Azure provides debugging capabilities, with the necessary settings and tools, and debug directly within Visual Studio.

Debug azure app service issues by gaining visibility through the azure portal and streaming logs, then use Koodoo and Visual Studio for remote debugging and deployment insight.

Discover how to troubleshoot Azure web apps by gathering visibility through the Azure portal, streaming logs, and Application Insights, then debug with Kudu, Visual Studio, and remote debugging.

Debugging Azure apps is straightforward, and this lecture highlights practical steps. Remember you block resources while debugging and should not leave the site in that state for others.

Discover Azure Functions, a lightweight compute option in application services, and learn to write small modules that respond to events and triggers in your solution.

Explore Azure functions, a serverless compute model, building timer and http triggers with input and output bindings to queues, storage, and tables for scalable, pay-per-use processing.

Explore Azure Functions as a serverless compute that scales on demand and supports multiple languages. Build timer and event-driven workflows with triggers, bindings, queues, and tables.

Explore function apps for diverse data processing, from timer events to WebEx, and respond to data in queues or tables with fast, effective serverless processing.

Discover how dev ops unites people, process, and products to enable continuous delivery of value to end users, and how to use it to build software more easily and predictably.

Now that we know what dev ops says, dig into the tools and explore how they fit into dev ops.

Define the mission, roles, and goals of the team to set a foundation for success. Explore how Tim services helps manage the backlog of work the team needs to complete.

Harness the project backlog and kanban board to manage agile work items, sprints, and capacity while automating builds, deployments, and testing through continuous integration in Azure.

Team services helps track items of work and break them into the tasks to deliver, providing visibility that lets team participants know what to expect and manage expectations.

Explore how code serves as the core of software projects and how to manage it for collaboration, including decisions on source control tools and an overview of Team Services options.

Leverage version control, continuous integration, and agile planning in Microsoft Azure 2017 to manage code with private repos, traceability, and cross-platform tooling, including pull requests and branch workflows.

Explore how you want to work and where you find value, choosing between team foundation source control options, with the technology available.

Convert code into artifacts by building executables and binaries on a stable build machine, using the scripted build engine in Team Services.

Learn to configure automated builds in Azure DevOps Team Services, creating build definitions, restoring packages, running tests, generating artifacts, and setting continuous integration triggers and release integration.

Customize the build definition with environment-specific variables and trigger builds on code changes to automate and integrate the process with team services.

After it's built, deploy artifacts to an environment for testing and confirmation of functionality and performance, leveraging the service's multiple levels to support this process.

Set up release management to create a release definition, deploy artifacts to test, staging, and production environments, using slots, approvals, and deployment tasks to achieve continuous delivery.

Coordinate release processes with the bills to ensure a consistent deployment of artifacts into the system under development.
