Continuous Integration

In this lesson, we'll look at how to use Azure to do Continuous Integration (CI). We'll walk through how to set up Azure Cloud Shell and evaluate different build server options.

Continuous Delivery

In this lesson, we'll look at how to leverage infrastructure automation in your development lifecycle so that we can achieve Continuous Delivery (CD).

Building a CI/CD Pipeline

In your final project, you'll integrate an Azure Cloud Shell environment and use it to build, test, deploy, and operationalize a Machine Learning project. This project uses Flask and sklearn.
