Your code and your infrastructure will always be in a production-deployable state with
continuous delivery. Combine infrastructure as code (IaC) with continuous integrations
and your deployments will be identical; you will also be confident that, should it be
needed, you can deploy manually to production whenever you want.
- CI/CD With Continuous Deployment
Your entire process can be automated, from committing the code to production when
you take advantage of continuous deployment, so long as your CI/CD testing is a
success. With CI/CD practices, you can deliver the features your customers want safely
and on time.
With Azure DevOps on your side, you can also:
- Increase your repeatability and reliability by automating environment
configuration and provisioning with IaC. You can capture definitions from the
environment – declarative code like YAML or JSON – and then provision an
environment that is identical using DevOps tools like Terraform, Ansible or Azure
Resource Manager - Gain actionable insights by monitoring the health of your infrastructure with
Azure Monitor and Azure Log Analytics, integrating right into dashboards
already in existence. With Application Insights, you can gain actionable insights
by managing application performance and getting instant analytics. - Enhance your security and compliance by using Azure DevOps tools like
Azure Policy and Chef Automate. With these tools you can easily ensure
compliance by managing your provisioned applications and infrastructure.
Combine these tools with other services such as Azure Security Center and your
exposure to threats will be limited and you will be able to find vulnerabilities and
take remedial action.
