When Microsoft introduced pipelines as part of their Azure DevOps cloud service offering, we received the tools to add continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) practices to our development processes. An Azure DevOps pipeline can be created in two ways: 1) The current generally available “classic” pipeline tooling, and 2) the new multi-stage YAML pipeline feature which is currently in preview. Classic Pipelines Classic pipelines achieve CI through Azure DevOps build pipelines. A build pipeline executes before a developer […]

These benefits may include increased availability, faster networking speeds, reduced technical debt, and a pay-per-use cost structure. In our experience, rehosting is well suited […]
