Azure DevOps YAML CI and CD pipelines

This video is pretty long - and hopefully for a good reason. I wanted to go from 0 to 100 in Azure DevOps pipelines. So I show a lot of background and hands-on here. Starting with some overview I'll show you how to create CI and CD pipelines using YAML only in Azure DevOps and how to connect them to your PR strategy. In the end everything gets created in Azure and deployed to it in 2 different stages.

Some useful links for this video:

Hey! Thank you so much, this will help me a lot really. I'm trying to transform the old deployment ways of the company I'm working in right now and this was just the content I needed. Can you share the demo codes somewhere? It would be awesome to dig in your yaml files. Also, can you make content about containerize it?

Hi @real-codingfreaks what is the tool you use to highlight things on the screen? it seems very simple and I can't for the life of me find it online, please let me know the tool name pls, or is it an obs plugin? for example you use it at 24:16

What do you put in the management group? I have 3 distinct resource groups related to environments, dev, test, prod which have resources within those resource groups.

[thescarletcars]

Thank you so much! Exactly what I am working on. Converting old releases to new yaml based ones. As a dev it was little confusing until watching this video. Maybe put your face on the bottom right next time? 😛couldn't see what you were clicking on the top right sometimes

Thanks for this, can i have access to a repo with the powershell script that runs the bicep template

I have 5 machines and I want to use one as an agent in the agent pool and use that agent to run tests via pipeline connected to ALM server on the other 4 machines.

Is that possible in Azure or I need to configure the agent on all the 5 machines?
