"Automated CI/CD Workflows with Azure DevOps Pipelines" By Samuel Gomez

In the fast-paced world of software development, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) are essential for maintaining agility, reducing time-to-market, and ensuring quality. Azure DevOps Pipelines offers a robust platform for automating these workflows, enabling teams to build, test, and deploy applications with efficiency and precision. This talk explores the role of Azure DevOps Pipelines in modern CI/CD practices, demonstrating how its features streamline the software development lifecycle from code commit to production deployment.
We will dive into the foundational components of Azure DevOps Pipelines, including stages, jobs, steps, and tasks. Using a sample pipeline, attendees will learn how to define a multi-stage workflow, execute parallel jobs for efficient testing, and implement deployment strategies such as blue-green or canary releases. The talk will also cover best practices for configuring triggers, managing pipeline artifacts, and integrating with other Azure services like Key Vault and App Service. Whether you're new to CI/CD or looking to optimize your existing workflows, this session will provide practical insights and actionable guidance to harness the full potential of Azure DevOps Pipelines.
