This document discusses setting up a CI/CD pipeline with Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS, now Azure DevOps). It begins with an overview of CI/CD and its main components like source control, build servers, and deployment environments. It then covers Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD). The document demonstrates how to automate building and deploying a simple ASP.NET web app to Azure with a VSTS CI/CD pipeline. It also references deploying a more complex sample project with full release management. Best practices discussed include automating infrastructure, building in containers, adapting pipelines to development processes, owning commits, and automating tests.

DevOps is a set of practices intended to reduce
the time between committing a change to a system
and the change being placed into normal
production, while ensuring high quality.

Overview
Tools chain

7. Main
components
• Development Team
• Source Code Repository (Git)
• Build Server (CI Server, Agent)
Ex: Jenkins server, VSTS Agent
• Deployment Environment
Ex: Web Server, Azure, AWS
• Trigger Events and Notifications
Ex: trigger auto builds, send email

with any language, platform, and
cloud. Connect to GitHub or any
Git provider and deploy
continuously to any cloud.
Azure Repos - Unlimited cloud-
hosted private Git repos for your
project. Collaborative pull
requests, advanced file
management

19. Best
Practices
Install the Infrastructure Automatically and as Code.
Build in a Containerized Environment is recommended.
Adapt Your CI/CD Pipeline to Your Development Process
Own your commits, build, small change, ship fast, rollback
easily.
Automation test is recommended.
