In this final chapter, we learned that CI and CD are automated processes that get code changes that developers make into production. Implementing these processes improves the quality of our software and helps us deliver value to the users of the software extremely fast.
Implementing CI and CD processes in Azure DevOps is ridiculously easy. CI is implemented using a build pipeline and Azure DevOps has loads of great templates for different technologies to get us started. The CI process is scripted in a YAML file where we execute a series of steps, including command-line commands and other tasks such as zipping up files. The steps in the YAML file must include tasks that publish the build artifacts to the build pipeline so that they can be used in the CD process.
The CD process is implemented using a release pipeline and a visual editor. Again, there are lots of great templates...
