What an amazing video and a breakdown! Learnt so so much from this, thank you both! Nana and April teaming up like when the Avengers first came together.
Both April and Nana must be the best communicators and presenters of DevOps knowledge! I hope you two are planning to build your own company and do very well for yourselves! You deserve it. I will be recommending your videos to my teams when the time is right to teach somebody everything about DevOps ❤
Thanks a lot Nana and April for this very interesting video, I really appreciated it. Could you please update the readme with infra details ? thanks a lot
Thank you both so much for sharing. A lot of people need this. i am just getting started with aZ-104 Azure administrator right now but this will be next.
This was pretty fantastic. Recently got thrust into ADO and got stuck on the Pipeline work. This helped me to think through some things better so thanks much.
Great job ! big overview :) thank you very much!I have some questions more... how synchronise azure steps with agile sprint ? (like : does a sprint include board to Artifcat and the tests are outside of the sprints ? ) What mean the item status CLOSED for devops ? and why we don't need to ensure on test plan every US is tested ?
It was very complex to understand in pipelines part , all i could make was that pipeline was made to build a docker image then also test it, host it in development environment, then to test and production environment.
Fabulous work you both are did...come to question, we are deploying Salesforce Environment we are used JFrog Artifactory but we are planning to move Azure artifact's is it fine approach..how to publish the artifact's..what is azure feed should I deploy old articats using artifacts..
Hello Bharath! Great question! JFrog Artifactory has an extension: www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/JFROG/Artifactory+Azure+DevOps+Extension. That's one thing to look at. Then depending on what type of artifacts you have you can absolutely migrate them over. I've used PowerShell in the past. Look at this post to help: learn.microsoft.com/azure/devops/artifacts/tutorials/migrate-packages?view=azure-devops&tabs=Windows
Hi @bharathsimha2822, I need some help plz. I am a junior .Net fullsatck developer and I want to understand the relationship between branches and environments. Nana mentioned that when we want to deployDev, deployTest and deployProd, we should trigger the main branch. At my team, everyone works on his own branch then he make a Pull request on azure devops (a request to merge his own branch with the dev branch). At our project, we have three environments (dev, test and prod) and I want to understand what really happen after the feature branches were merged into the dev branch. There will be a merge from dev branch to test branch then to main branch ? Each environemnt will be deployed from each branch or all the environment will be deployed from only the main branch ?

Learn one and become proficient. Azure DevOps deploys to all clouds and on-prem. It's an extremely versatile tool. I'm regards to Azure and AWS, pick one and learn it. See what the job market is doing where you are located. I chose Azure for various reasons, but also have some AWS certs, but they came after for me.

Thanks this video give me many informations I was looking for, I want to ask you if it's possible to run automated tests on pull request. We need to do some automatic checks on code before the PR go to approval by reviewers... Thanks
Yes you can! Configure your Build Validation: Set a policy requiring changes in a pull request to build successfully with the protected branch before the pull request can be completed.
From zero to being able to work on a team to learn more imo. If you’re looking for advanced knowledge on Azure DevOps it’s better to actually try it in the real world.
This is a valuable read. A book I picked up recently that covers the same subject was remarkable. "AWS Unleashed: Mastering Amazon Web Services for Software Engineers" by Harrison Quill

How come the presenter is seeing Bug, Issue, Task, Test Case, User Story at @0:13:29 whereas I see only Epic, Issue and task under 'New Work Item'. Some things that she is showing here are different than what it looks for me in DevOps.
thats a great video ,i have a problem with the Azure artifacts, like when i am running on my feature branch the Tag version is 1.0.1, whn merging with the Develop Branch its getting changed to 271.1.0 ,but i want to be with 1.0.1 version for the Client SDK and the Data N Service Dll... but why its getting changed? any idea.
There's a few things that can play into this. Such as how you're declaring your versions, your branching strategy, etc. Have a read here: cloudblogs.microsoft.com/industry-blog/en-gb/technetuk/2019/06/18/perfecting-continuous-delivery-of-nuget-packages-for-azure-artifacts/#:~:text=As%20soon%20as%20the%20commit%20is%20made%20and,NuGet%20package%20alpha%29%20Pushes%20the%20package%20to%20Artifacts.
Question concerning the release approval coming from a former Change Manager. Is there a way to request approval from different people based on the criticality of the application being deployed? I'm sure you don't want the same individual approving an "Hello World" app vs a mission critical solution. Can you have multiple people receiving the approve button?
I don't believe this is something you could do entirely from Azure Devops. HOWEVER, I do believe that Azure Devops have some integrations with Power automate. You could most definitely create a flow to request approval in the way you stated.
Nice overview, however, I hoped it was a genuine tutorial that provided us with the code and assets needed to follow along. I tried to suck it up and create my own assets but got lost and confused too many times. The software is very complex, and I appreciate you all clearing up the fog, but unless my projects were structure like yours I don't have the same options for the same screens. This is my fifth different source to learn this software and nobody has provided their beginning environment, therefore I've gotten lost and frustrated each time. Please, always provide the code/assets used in the video or let us know that it's an overview/demo and not a tutorial.
Hello @busyrand 👋 If you look in the description below we did in fact include the repo: github.com/scubaninja/AzureDevOps-Demo. Because Azure DevOps doesn't allow public access to our repo, we hosted it in GitHub so you can have the same access to the code
@@AzureDevOps Thanks for the response... I signed up to the mailing list and looked through the links I received but I guess I overlooked it. I'll go back and try again. I wanted to code along with the program and was frustrated that I couldn't... Thanks again...
I have to agree with a number of the comments here in that this is lacking some important details that would make this more of a "tutorial". The area most in need of explanation is the entire pipelines chapter. You never explain how you know what to put where or what the syntax is. You also copy and paste low level SSH commands that don't make any sense and you don't explain them. For instance, the FQIN used in the docker commands includes your repository name twice, and doesn't appear to include the registry or a username. Why? How are we supposed to learn anything when we don't understand what you did? Not to say this isn't a valuable video with a lot of good information, but you could have made it exceptional if you added a few more details.
good video. But, the content does not go with the title "Zero to Hero". you could have made this even simpler. I don't think, if anyone without knowing what is devops can follow from the beginning. ask this question for yourself and see if I am wrong. thank you
Hi guys and @AzureDevOps, I need some help. I am a junior .Net fullsatck developer and I want to understand the relationship between branches and environments.

This depends entirely on your team's setup. We highly recommend short lived features branches. In an ideal world, we often use a main branch with the short lived feature branches, not using a dev, test, etc set of branches as referenced here: learn.microsoft.com/azure/devops/repos/git/git-branching-guidance?view=azure-devops Here's another article that talks about your branching strategy: learn.microsoft.com/azure/devops/repos/tfvc/branch-strategically?view=azure-devops
Hello, I have a request. In every video I see, people create projects or anything like demo etc. I cant grasp the thought process behind creating different projects. If you could provide an example instead of just creating 'demo' project, it would be very helpful Here are few things about the place I work in. if you could give some suggestions on how to manage the team and work as well as project creation, I would be very grateful 1.) There are limited devs and QA's often meaning a single developer will be working on multiple unrelated work like at once. (Eg They may work on one story for 1-2 hours for story development, another hour for a live bug, another hour for another bug etc) 2.) New requirements comes frequently which leads to potin 1, but we cannot says lets do this later as these might be live bugs that needs immediate effort. But since this happens everyday, planned work never gets done or is very shaky as is done in the last minute. 3.) Currently there is mobile developers, UI developers and Database developers. Mobile developers and UI developers are not related in terms of work. Db developers helps both. 4.) The product has multiple modules (eg, module A has UI and logic for identifying a client , module B has UI and logic for bringing them to sales pipeline and module c has client onboarding to the product ) 5.) Requirements and changes for any story comes almost everyday With this context, how can I do the following 1.) Create a process to manage above issues. 2.) Create projects based on above information. Any suggestions is highly appreciated. If anyone has worked on similar situation, please mention what steps you took to implement and improve process. Please reply if you have any suggestion
Thanks for your comment! One of the big things that I see in your structure is that you've divided up your teams into specific roles. One of the biggest features of an agile team is being cross-functional. While that is certainly not an overnight change, it is something we have changed over time with our engineering teams. If you're having changes to your stories, then your backlog grooming and sprint planning is not done properly. Depending on your length of sprints, then this will differ on your team. For example, if you're doing 2 week sprints, then in backlog grooming their needs to be prioritization of what is coming up on the next sprints. For sprint planning, your engineers need to plan and allocate the time required to each task. The engineers need to own the time/effort required for each task for each sprint. Prioritization needs to be considered for your tasks. Bugs also need to be prioritized for each sprint, we used a bug bar. If the bug bar reach a critical point, often we had to assign folks to them during a sprint to maybe tackle one each. But each sprint we use two volunteers (or maybe one, depending on the team), to address bugs during that sprint. Sometimes you need a good old fashioned bug bash. We have much of this documented. Have a look at Agile process guidance: learn.microsoft.com/azure/devops/boards/work-items/guidance/agile-process?view=azure-devops There are a ton of reference docs there to help you :)

4.) The product has multiple modules (eg, module A has UI and logic for identifying a client , module B has UI and logic for bringing them to sales pipeline and module c has client onboarding to the product )
5.) Requirements and changes for any story comes almost everyday
With this context, how can I do the following
1.) Create a process to manage above issues.
2.) Create projects based on above information.
Any suggestions is highly appreciated. If anyone has worked on similar situation, please mention what steps you took to implement and improve process.
Please reply if you have any suggestion
Thanks for your comment! One of the big things that I see in your structure is that you've divided up your teams into specific roles. One of the biggest features of an agile team is being cross-functional. While that is certainly not an overnight change, it is something we have changed over time with our engineering teams.
If you're having changes to your stories, then your backlog grooming and sprint planning is not done properly. Depending on your length of sprints, then this will differ on your team. For example, if you're doing 2 week sprints, then in backlog grooming their needs to be prioritization of what is coming up on the next sprints. For sprint planning, your engineers need to plan and allocate the time required to each task. The engineers need to own the time/effort required for each task for each sprint. Prioritization needs to be considered for your tasks.
Bugs also need to be prioritized for each sprint, we used a bug bar. If the bug bar reach a critical point, often we had to assign folks to them during a sprint to maybe tackle one each. But each sprint we use two volunteers (or maybe one, depending on the team), to address bugs during that sprint. Sometimes you need a good old fashioned bug bash.
We have much of this documented. Have a look at Agile process guidance: learn.microsoft.com/azure/devops/boards/work-items/guidance/agile-process?view=azure-devops
There are a ton of reference docs there to help you :)
Too bad. This video started out great, then Nana began "talking" through MANY complex pipeline concepts with no explanation or demo. Such a loss.
Abi bir Turk accent havasi aldim ama
Is it pronounced CanBan or ConBon…. I’ve been saying ConBon
It always depends on accent, but I was taught 'Can-Ban'
too sleepy
