Build CI Pipelines with Azure Pipelines and GitHub Actions

Efficient software development relies on continuous integration to catch issues early and deliver updates faster. Understanding how to automate these processes is crucial for any modern development team. By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently design, configure, and manage continuous integration pipelines using two leading platforms: Azure Pipelines and GitHub Actions. You will gain practical skills to streamline your development workflow, ensure code quality, and accelerate deployment cycles. What you'll learn: Understand the core principles and benefits of Continuous Integration (CI). Configure CI pipelines in Azure Pipelines to build, test, and package applications. Implement CI workflows in GitHub Actions for various programming languages and frameworks. Apply best practices for managing secrets, variables, and environments in CI systems. Learn foundational concepts of containerization for building and testing applications within CI. Explore basic principles of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) as it relates to CI/CD workflows. Practice setting up automated tests and quality checks within your CI pipelines. This course begins with an exploration of CI fundamentals and gradually introduces you to practical setup and configuration using both Azure Pipelines and GitHub Actions. You will then progress to applying these concepts through hands-on exercises, building robust and automated workflows. This course is designed for absolute beginners in continuous integration, including developers, aspiring DevOps engineers, and anyone looking to automate their software delivery processes. No prior experience with Azure Pipelines or GitHub Actions is required. Start building efficient and reliable software delivery pipelines today.
