In this course you will learn how to master Azure YAML pipelines by building real world scenarios from production setups. The main goal of this course is to familiarise yourself with the available commands that Microsoft provides on the pipelines in order to build complex automation projects. Course is focused on practical examples of pipeline use cases that you can build and exercise on Azure DevOps platform. Those examples vary and depend on various services either azure internal or external that you can use plug n play in order to build, deploy and secure your infrastructure and deployments. Through the curriculum you can learn all the components required in order to create automation cases and understand how the tooling works in depth.

Course is mainly focused on practical demos and examples that you can use plug-n-play in your everyday work as a DevOps engineer.
