Many believe that it\u2019s difficult to get started with Azure DevOps, but that\u2019s really not the case.<\/p>\n

Azure DevOps can deploy to any cloud on-premise, and you can bring any code to our tooling. This means it\u2019s not just for Windows developers, or .NET developers, but for everyone \u2013 be it multi-platform, open source, or your on-premise environment.<\/p>\n

One thing it\u2019s really great for is CICD \u2013 or Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery \u2013 and it does this with automation. So things like infrastructure code, using third-party tools like Terraform, or deploying ARM templates into Azure, can all be done automatically. You can even look at automating your actual code with your developers using Azure pipelines.<\/p>\n

Azure DevOps can also manage projects and tasks. It\u2019s great for project managers to know what tasks exist, when they\u2019re being assigned to each person, and when they\u2019ve been completed. It\u2019s also possible to see which tasks are creating blockers, so you can manage your workflow more effectively.<\/p>\n
