Description
This book will teach you all about the Visual Studio Team Services and Microsoft Azure PaaS offerings that support Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, Continuous Deployment, and execution in the cloud with high availability, disaster recovery, and security.
You will first be given a tour of all the concepts and tools that Microsoft Azure has to offer and how these can be used in situations to cultivate the DevOps culture. You’ll be taught how to use and manage Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) and about the structure of the sample application used throughout the book. You will become familiar with the nitty gritty of Continuous Integration and Continuous Development with VSTS and Microsoft Azure Apps. You will not only learn how to create App service environments, but also how to compare Azure Web Apps and App Service Environments to deploy web applications in a more secure environment.
Once you have completed Continuous Integration and created the Platform for application deployment, you will learn more about the final stepping stone in achieving end-to-end automation using approval-based Continuous Delivery and Deployment. You will then learn about Continuous Monitoring, using the monitoring and notification options provided by Microsoft Azure and Visual Studio Team Services.

For one of my Project, I need to use Microsoft Azure for application deployment and I came acroos this book few days back. I have only read Microsoft Azure – Cloud Platform and Services, Continuous Development with Microsoft Azure Web Apps, and Azure App Service Environments. It is like a video tutorial because there are many screenshots and hence I didn't need to go to portal and verify things. It essentially means that content is on a lesser side. Azure App Service Environments is a Premium service and it has been covered here in a simple manner. Overall it provides good and quick overview or Microsoft Azure PaaS.

For me, a Microsoft DotNet developer who has actively avoided Java, I found it difficult to follow some section. and skipped several sections completely. For instance I've never heard of a "WAR" file, or used Jenkins, Eclipse, Ant or Maven. It's obviously the same concepts, but I would have preferred DotNet rather than Java-centric. It reduced it's value for me. Otherwise well written. Not a deep dive. Lots of screen snapshots, easy for an experienced programming to follow.
