Review of webinar: Using Azure DevOps for Delivery of Distributed Cloud Applications by Stanislav Tretyakov.
In their words “…how to build a scalable, maintainable, fully automated CI/CD pipeline for the distributed cloud-native application by using Azure DevOps services”
Tretyakov’s discussion covered the following topics on Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) using Azure DevOps:
CI/CD design
- Quality gates – various levels of automated testing needed
- Branch strategy – Consistent code in master using GitFlows well as continuous development process. Trunk based strategy means short lead time and lower maintenance effort.
- Environment definition – build – development – integration and functional
- CI/CD map – helps keep consistency vs timeline
Configure CI pipelines using Azure DevOps services
- Variable groups – split variables by scope such as global, environment, service
- Task groups – use to manage multiple pipelines simultaneously
- Gated builds – use branch policies to create gated builds
CD pipelines for distributed cloud apps
- Splitting artifacts – useful to reuse for different environments like UAT, development and production
- Configuring stages – Stage can be associated to a separate environment with pre/post deployment conditions
Best Practices
- Design a draft
- Code = application while configuration = infrastructure
- Consolidate variables and tasks
- Measure results
- Keep it simple stupid
I give the webinar ” Using Azure DevOps for Delivery of Distributed Cloud Applications” by Stanislav Tretyakov a thumbs up. Right?
This was another excellent webinar that was part of Azure Data Week 2019 By Pragmatic Works. Azure Data Week 2019 cost was dirt cheap at $49 for all webinars and you could review the material for a year. I hope there is Azure Data Week 2020 by Pragmatic Works.
