Azure DevOps Explained: Get started with Azure DevOps and develop your DevOps practices

Disclaimer: I was provided with a free eBook in exchange for an unbiased review. The book, Azure DevOps Explained is a comprehensive tome of various components of Azure DevOps. It delves into: - Azure Boards and managing projects with it - Source Control Management - Pipelines and its processes such as quality testing - Hosting your own Pipeline Agent - How Artifacts fit into the Azure DevOps puzzle - Advanced features of Azure DevOps such as using Test Plans or integrating with GitHub It concludes with a "real-world" example of CI/CD. This book is perhaps of more interest to the technical audience than the project manager since the latter maybe quite familiar with project management topics covered in this book.

The book is very carefully walking the reader though everything you need to know to become an Azure DevOps expert. I use DevOps all the time to to build and manage Business Central AL development and found the book very useful. Put it under the Christmas tree. You will not regret it.

The book does not have a clear understanding of development and it's clearly the author's experience is outdated. There are multiple errors, incorrect information. Overall the book is good for vocabulary but wouldn't recommend it for beginners entering Azure DevOps

Although published in Dec of 2020 this book is completely classical pipeline instead of the YAML based infrastructure as code approach.

Make a bunch of screenshots, add some comment, call it a "book". The usual Packt quality.

The best I could find. Worth every penny.

Excelente

In my opinion, it is definitely one of the greatest book I ever read for DevOps. Although I am Azure DevOps certified, I really enjoy reading this book and it gives me an extra overview of what I have learned. It is well structured and the fact that is simple to read and follow along makes it more attractive.

I was hoping to get a deep insight into how DevOps works, and how to make the most of it. Instead, I got a fairly superficial book that told me little more than I had found out by playing around with it, and doing a quick search to find out what some of the features did. Waste of money. Microsoft's own docs and Google are your friends, and will tell you as much as this book does.
