1. Azure DevOps
Accelerating Modern Application
Delivery

2. Agenda
• - Introduction to DevOps
• - DevOps Culture & Practices
• - What is Azure DevOps?
• - Azure DevOps Lifecycle Tools
• - Project Setup in Azure DevOps
• - CI/CD Pipelines
• - Monitoring & Feedback
• - Summary

3. Introduction to DevOps
• DevOps = Development + Operations
• Goal: Deliver high-quality software faster and
more reliably.
• Principles: Collaboration, Automation,
Continuous Feedback, Continuous
Improvement

4. DevOps Lifecycle
• Plan → Develop → Build → Test → Release →
Deploy → Operate → Monitor
• Feedback loop fuels continuous improvement.
• Tools like Azure DevOps support each phase.

5. What is Azure DevOps?
• A cloud-based set of tools by Microsoft for
managing the software development lifecycle:
• - Supports Agile planning
• - Git version control
• - CI/CD Pipelines
• - Manual & automated testing
• - Artifact storage

6. Azure DevOps Components
• - Azure Boards: Track work using
Kanban/Scrum
• - Azure Repos: Source control using Git
• - Azure Pipelines: CI/CD automation
• - Azure Test Plans: Testing hub
• - Azure Artifacts: Package sharing

7. Setting Up an Azure DevOps
Project
• - Create an Organization
• - Start a new Project
• - Set project visibility
• - Choose process template (Agile, Scrum,
CMMI)
• - Add team members & configure permissions

8. Work Item Tracking
• - Track Epics, Features, User Stories, Tasks
• - Customize Boards & Backlogs
• - Use queries for reporting and filters
• - Visualize progress via Dashboards

9. Version Control with Azure Repos
• - Supports Git and TFVC
• - Branching strategies: Main, Dev, Feature
• - Pull requests & code reviews
• - Commit traceability to work items

10. CI/CD with Azure Pipelines
• - Continuous Integration: Auto build & test
• - Continuous Delivery: Auto deploy
• - Use YAML or classic editor
• - Integrate with Azure, AWS, GCP

11. Pipeline Example
• 1. Code pushed to Azure Repo
• 2. Build pipeline triggers
• 3. Run unit/integration tests
• 4. Package artifacts
• 5. Release pipeline deploys to environment

12. Monitoring & Feedback
• - Integrate with Azure Monitor & Application
Insights
• - Track performance & user issues
• - Feed data back into Boards for action

13. Benefits of Azure DevOps
• - End-to-end DevOps lifecycle in one platform
• - Scalable from small teams to enterprises
• - High availability with cloud-hosting
• - Supports hybrid and cloud-native apps

14. Summary
• Azure DevOps enables:
• - Faster releases
• - Higher quality
• - Better collaboration
• - Stronger automation
• Adopt DevOps to stay competitive and deliver
value continuously.
