In this immersive full-day masterclass, participants will delve into the design and implementation of industry-standard CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps. This hands-on training emphasizes best practices, starting with modularized YAML pipelines and configuration as code to streamline development workflows. Participants will learn how to integrate Docker containers for efficient build and runtime environments, ensuring portability and consistency. The CI process will be enhanced with automated security checks, analyzing both code and dependencies to proactively address vulnerabilities. Transitioning to CD, the session covers automated artifact deployment to target environments, embedding robust security practices for agent configuration and credential management. Advanced deployment strategies, including blue-green and canary deployments, will also be explored, enabling participants to achieve seamless updates with minimal downtime.

By the end of the masterclass, attendees will have the practical expertise to build modern, secure, and scalable CI/CD pipelines that meet enterprise demands.
