Pre-requisite Knowledge Before we start with the understanding of Azure Pipelines, we should know- What is Cloud What is Microsoft Azure Continuous Integration (CI) & Continuous Delivery (CD). Introduction of Azure Pipelines Before getting started into actual topic, let’s get ourselves a brief about the word, PIPELINE. So a Pipeline can be understood as a smooth, fast and automatically traversable path which consists of various elements in a sequential manner. Though it is often the case that the execution is followed in a parallel or tile allotted trend Now coming to Azure Pipelines, it is a simple yet evident service of Microsoft, which helps in automating the building and the testing phases of the projects. In short an Azure pipeline combines both the Continuous Integration (CI) & Continuous Delivery (CD). According to Microsoft docs, below are the supported languages for the Pipelining, as of now: Python Java JavaScript PHP Ruby C# C++ Go To impl...
