Requirements / Prerequisites

A solid foundational understanding of Azure services is essential, ideally equivalent to the knowledge gained from the AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator exam.
Familiarity with core DevOps principles, including continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), version control systems (Git), and basic agile methodologies.
Experience with a programming language (e.g., C#, Python, PowerShell) and scripting for automation is highly beneficial for practical understanding.
Prior practical exposure to Azure DevOps Services or similar CI/CD platforms will provide valuable context for interpreting complex exam scenarios.

Skills Covered / Tools Used

Source Control Strategies: Master Git branching, pull request workflows, and integrate Azure Repos or GitHub effectively for code management.
CI/CD Pipeline Implementation: Design and develop multi-stage pipelines using Azure Pipelines (YAML) for automated builds, testing, and deployments across environments.
Release Deployment Techniques: Configure release gates, approval processes, deployment groups, and implement Blue/Green and Canary deployment strategies.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Utilize ARM templates, Bicep, and integrate Terraform for consistent Azure infrastructure provisioning and configuration.
DevSecOps Principles: Integrate security scanning, secret management with Azure Key Vault, and embed security practices early in the development lifecycle.
Monitoring & Feedback Systems: Implement Azure Monitor, Application Insights, and Log Analytics for telemetry collection, alerts, dashboards, and continuous feedback.
Containerization & Orchestration: Work with Docker for application containerization and deploy to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) or Azure Container Instances (ACI).
Configuration Management: Explore Azure Automation and Desired State Configuration (DSC) to ensure consistent, scalable infrastructure configuration.
Azure Policy & Governance: Implement Azure Policy to enforce organizational standards, compliance, and governance across Azure resources within DevOps.
Testing Integration: Incorporate unit, integration, UI, and performance tests directly into CI/CD pipelines, leveraging Azure Test Plans.
Artifact & Package Management: Configure Azure Artifacts for package management, including NuGet, npm, Maven, and Universal Packages feeds.
Collaborative Workflows: Utilize Azure Boards for agile planning, sprint management, and work item tracking, facilitating seamless team collaboration.
