Azure DevOps is a complete suite for DevOps practices, enabling teams to plan, develop, test, deploy, and manage applications seamlessly. This cheat sheet simplifies the lifecycle into five easy steps so teams can visualize and implement effective DevOps workflows.
๐ป Azure DevOps Lifecycle
[PLAN] → [CODE] → [BUILD & DEPLOY] → [TEST] → [PACKAGE & SHARE]
1️⃣ PLAN – Azure Boards
- Purpose: Track work and plan sprints efficiently
- Tools: Kanban boards, user stories, backlogs
- Example: Scrum teams track tasks and bugs in a sprint
2️⃣ CODE – Azure Repos
- Purpose: Version control for source code
- Tools: Git repositories, branches, pull requests
- Example: Developers collaborate on web app code safely
3️⃣ BUILD & DEPLOY – Azure Pipelines
- Purpose: Automate building, testing, and deployment (CI/CD)
- Tools: YAML pipelines, automated builds & deployment tasks
- Example: Every commit triggers an automated build and deployment
4️⃣ TEST – Azure Test Plans
- Purpose: Ensure software quality with manual & automated testing
- Tools: Test cases, exploratory testing, bug tracking
- Example: QA team validates new features and logs defects
5️⃣ PACKAGE & SHARE – Azure Artifacts
- Purpose: Host and share reusable packages internally
- Tools: NuGet, npm, Maven, Python feeds
- Example: Teams share libraries across projects without public exposure
