I thought that today it would be prudent of me to document my learnings in summary form when it comes to the set of tooling available to us via Azure DevOps. Off the back of the Azure DevOps Open Hack and the forthcoming AZ-400 exam here is a quick summary of what Azure DevOps is all about!

Over the past few weeks I have had the chance to roll my sleeves up and look at what CI/CD could mean for the control and audit capabilities of deploying Infrastructure as Code such as Terraform within a CI/CD pipeline and what this might mean for my customers.

The ability to wrap a set of tooling such as Azure DevOps around a current packaged delivery of services into Azure means that I can seamlessly pass this onto our Managed services capability, or simply hand over the pipeline support to my customer directly. Hopefully convincing them at the same time that DevOps is the way forward to manage their infrastructure deployment and configuration requirements!

I am really excited to be using these technologies more and more now and can’t wait to start making some interesting and creative solutions available via this methodology!
