Agenda

Continuous Integration and

Continuous Deployment

Every* check-in starts a build operation

It’s the starting point of a release pipeline

Best way to check the code integration

Validation of the changes

Continuous Integration

After the build succeeds, automated deploy

Use deployment templates to deploy your projects to on premises, hybrid, or cloud

Can deploy to single environment or to multiple environments (dev, int, test, preprod, prod…)
