There’s a huge divide between software that’s developed and software that’s delivered. DevOps helps you bridge that divide. It’s a mindset plus a set of practices that focuses on automation, reliability, and optimizing the process of software delivery.

In this course, DevOps Skills for Developers with Visual Studio and TFS 2017, will show you how to use the tools and features of Visual Studio 2017 and Team Foundation Server 2017 to create an automated DevOps release pipeline for your applications.

Next, you’ll explore how to think about and measure your DevOps practices, and your multi-environment deployments to on-premise data centers, Microsoft Azure, and Docker.

Finally, you’ll discover how to utilize QA testing with TFS 2017, and automated UI testing using Selenium.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the necessary skills and knowledge to set up your own automated DevOps release pipeline that will deploy your applications into either an on-premise data center or Microsoft Azure.
