Introduction
In this post, I would like to introduce Azure DevOps Services (formerly Visual Studio Team Services) which is provided by Microsoft.
What is DevOps in the first place?
The concept is that developers and operators work together to provide users with products and services quickly and continuously.
The development side, who wants to develop new services, and the operation side, who wants to maintain stable service operation, tend to be in conflict.
DevOps is an effort to solve this problem on the development side and the operation side and deliver business value to end users more reliably and quickly .
What is Azure DevOps?
Announced by Microsoft on 2018, this service provides the tools you need to plan smarter, collaborate more efficiently, and publish your applications faster. Formerly known as Visual Studio Team Services, you can take advantage of features such as tools for agile development and CI/CD.
