Introduction

In today’s fast-paced digital world, efficient software development and delivery are crucial for businesses to stay competitive. Azure DevOps, a cloud-based suite of tools provided by Microsoft, offers a comprehensive solution for automating the software development lifecycle (SDLC). It integrates processes like continuous integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD), agile project management, version control, and infrastructure as code (IaC) to streamline development and operations teams.

This Azure DevOps Course is designed to equip learners with the knowledge and hands-on skills to master the essential tools and practices used in DevOps. Whether you’re a developer, system administrator, or IT professional, this course will guide you through the end-to-end lifecycle of Azure DevOps, from planning to deployment and monitoring. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to implement DevOps principles effectively using Azure DevOps services, automate workflows, and achieve faster and more reliable software delivery
