What is DevOps?
DevOps is all about automating the application deployment process. It addresses the drawbacks associated with manual application deployment. The application deployment process contains several steps—from writing code to deploying the created release to the target environment, i.e., Microsoft Azure Cloud.

Azure DevOps from Top to Bottom
In this chapter, we examine a tool that makes it clear why DevOps is an important process for organizations engaged in IT development. A good implementation of ALM helps an organization deliver better business value to fulfil its business needs. Automating tasks by using tools such as Visual Studio 2017, Azure DevOps, and TFS 2018 (soon to be renamed Azure DevOps Server) supports this process.

What is Agile and DevOps Methodology?
There are large organizations in the industry using leading-edge techniques such as Agile and DevOps to develop software faster and more efficiently than anyone ever thought possible. This chapter explains how Agile DevOps Methodology used with the best examples.

Achieve DevOps with Slack
Slack is a great tool for increasing team communication and transparency in your business or organization. The real power of Slack comes from the ways in which you can extend it. Integrations in Slack allow you to add-in most any type of app or feature, whether that is Google Drive, Github or your favourite CRM platform.
In order to get the most out of Slack, you need to learn about Webhooks, which allow you to push notifications and actions in and out of Slack.
To extend Slack even further, you can tap into the Slack APIs with almost any programming language and even create your own Slack bots that you can then use to carry out a myriad of tasks, such as having a bot get sandwich orders from your team or schedule a meeting that fits with everyone’s schedules.

Build DevOps Automation Tools
This chapter should have provided you with an idea of which topics in the fields of development, build, and Continuous Integration plays a role in the context of Continuous Delivery. The choice of tools, techniques, and methods is important for setting up a good basis for facilitating later automation. It is important to make sure that the knowledge about the build and Continuous Integration setup is not confined to a single person or a small circle.
