Azure DevOps Labs
Azure DevOps Labs is a free, community-driven collection of self-paced, hands-on tutorials designed to teach every aspect of the Azure DevOps toolchain and related DevOps practices. From configuring Agile planning with Azure Boards and version control in Azure Repos to defining build and release pipelines as code with YAML, enabling CI/CD in Azure Pipelines, managing packages in Azure Artifacts, and orchestrating tests with Azure Test Plans, each lab provides step-by-step exercises and sample code repositories. You can spin up ready-made projects using the Azure DevOps Demo Generator, explore end-to-end scenarios like deploying Docker-based web applications, integrating Terraform for infrastructure-as-code, scanning for security vulnerabilities, monitoring performance with Application Insights, and automating database changes with Redgate. Prerequisites include an Azure DevOps organization and an Azure subscription, but no prior experience is required.
