What is Azure Pipelines ?

  1. Pre-requisite Knowledge
Before we start with the understanding of Azure Pipelines, we should know-
  1. What is Cloud
  2. What is Microsoft Azure
  3. Continuous Integration (CI) & Continuous Delivery (CD).

  1. 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 implement Azure Pipelines in your project, it should be inside a version control system. It provide a seamless integration with the below service providers:
  • GitHub
  • GitHub Enterprise
  • Azure Repos Git & TFVC
  • Bitbucket Cloud
  • Subversion
Features of Azure Pipelines (as per Microsoft Docs):
  • Works with any language or platform
  • Deploys to different types of targets at the same time
  • Integrates with Azure deployments
  • Builds on Windows, Linux, or Mac machines
  • Integrates with GitHub
  • Works with open-source projects.



Requirements for using Azure Pipelines:
  • We need to create an organization in Azure DevOps
  • The source code should be stored inside of a Version- Control system
Note: For public repositories, Azure Pipelines is free. Though for private repositories, 1,800 minutes (30 hours) of pipeline jobs for free every month
