Challenge 06 - Azure Pipelines: Continuous Delivery
< Previous Challenge - Home - Next Challenge >
Introduction
In DevOps after we automate our build process, we want to automate our release process, we do this with a technique called Continuous Delivery. Please take a moment to review this brief article talking about why this is important.
Description
In Azure DevOps we use an Azure Pipeline to release our software. In this challenge we will deploy our container out to our dev, test, and prod environments.
- Continue using our CI Build pipeline, we will add our release to this pipeline.
- Leverage the Azure App Service Deploy task in the assistant to deploy your application. We will be deploying our application using the images we pushed to the Azure Container Registry.
- If your deployment look good, go ahead and create the deployment for test and prod as well.
- For the test and prod stages, set a pre-deployment condition so that one of your teammates has to approve any deployment before it goes to production.
Success Criteria
- Make a small change to your code (for example: update some of the HTML on the Index page
/Application/aspnet-core-dotnet-core/Views/Home/Index.cshtml), it should automatically trigger a build and release to yourdevenvironment. If the change looks good, get your teammate to approve it to release totest. Repeat again forprod.
