Azure DevOps Setup
Azure DevOps is a PaaS Azure service that’s virtually free for many people (ex: if you’re using Visual Studio it’s probably free for you).
It’s an awesome service that will quickly create a formalized SDLC to let you track work, automate (CI and CD!) all with no server setup. Here’s a quick video introdution:
Let’s use Azure DevOps to move faster and replace a need for Jenkins. Jenkins is greate esp now that it’s containerized and with annoucnement of a clud ative rewrite. But we want to go full paas and never mange any infrastructure. Azure DevOps is based on Team Foundation Server.
GREAT! Let’s Get Started
While it is easy to get started if you’re familiar with TFS, it’s daunting if you’re more familiar with a traditional JIRA, git, jenkins stack. Over the course of the next few posts let’s get it setup in small, easy to digest chunks that you can manage between meetings.
Sample project
My project already has a matrue repo ,and I’ve been maintaing my backlog in a system I don’t want to import. My project is single user.
Goals
- source will remain in github
- Kanban board
- Move CI off my local dev
- Trunk based dev
- CD
