Audience Profile

  • Students in this course are interested in DevOps continuous integration processes.
  • IT professionals who take this course as preparation material for Azure exam AZ-400: Microsoft Azure DevOps Solutions.

Before attending this course, students must have:

  • Fundamental knowledge about Azure, version control, Agile software development, and core software development principles
  • Experience with virtual machines and containers, and some exposure to automation and scripting
  • Experience working in a software development or operations environment with either Windows or Linux would be helpful but is not essential
  • Knowledge of general application development and deployment processes
  • It is recommended that you have experience working in an IDE, as well as some knowledge of the Azure portal. However, students who may not have a technical background in these technologies, but who are curious about DevOps practices as a culture shift, should be able to follow the procedural and expository explanations of continuous integration regardless
