Setting up continuous deployment for Docker with Azure DevOps and Azure Container Registry

In this section, we will set up a CI pipeline for building containerized applications. We will build and publish Docker images to Azure Container Registry using Azure DevOps to increase the reliability and speed of the deployment.
