What you'll learn

Deploying infrastructure to the Cloud is not easy and often results in errors and leads to overtime on weekends. The concept of continuous integration applied to infrastructure will solve a lot of those issues. In this course, Building an Azure Continuous Integration Pipeline, you'll learn foundational test and build automation skills that will get you to a point where you can continuously deploy infrastructure on Azure. First, you'll explore the basics of Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) builds. Next, you'll discover how to create your own VSTS Linux build agent in order to then later create a fully tested Windows deployment artifact. Then, you'll cover how to secure deployment secrets with the help of Azure Key Vault. Finally, you'll learn how to release your new infrastructure artifact into production, fully hands off. When you are finished with this course you'll be able to apply this new knowledge to your own infrastructure needs on Azure.
