Description

Azure Pipelines is a Continuous Integration, Delivery, and Deployment service (CI/CD), allowing for automatic building, testing, and deployment of code. CI/CD is one of the fundamental tools of the DevOps implementation strategy. Implementing Azure Pipelines for Continuous Integration of code (CI) lets developers find bugs earlier in the development and code testing as part of the build process ensures code quality.

In this lab, you will create a build pipeline using Azure Pipeline's classic editor and test run the pipeline both manually and automatically via CI.
