Summary
In this chapter, we provided an overview of the Azure Pipelines service and we saw how to implement a CI/CD process by using Azure DevOps. We also saw how to create a pipeline for code hosted in a repository by using the graphical interface and by using YAML, as well as how to use and create build agents. We then looked at how to create a build pipeline by using the classic editor and by using a YAML definition. We also saw an example of a multi-stage pipeline and how to use Azure DevOps pipelines to build code inside a GitHub repository, before looking at how to use parallel tasks in a build pipeline to improve build performance. Finally, we learned how to create a build agent on Azure Container Instances and how to use a container's jobs.
In the next chapter, we'll learn how to execute quality tests for our code base in a build pipeline.
