Agile, DevOps and Cloud Computing with Microsoft Azure

Agile, DevOps, and Azure in one practical guide

Agile, DevOps and Cloud Computing with Microsoft Azure brings together the core ideas behind modern software delivery and shows how they fit together inside the Microsoft Azure ecosystem. Rather than treating Agile, DevOps, and cloud computing as separate subjects, the book connects them through a single hands-on workflow: planning, repository management, build automation, release pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.

The result is a focused, implementation-minded read for anyone who wants to understand how Azure DevOps supports continuous practices in a real project setting. The book moves from Agile and Scrum fundamentals into DevOps culture, then into Azure Boards, Azure Repos, Azure Pipelines, and Azure cloud services.

What the book covers

• Agile principles, Scrum, and the shift away from waterfall thinking
• DevOps culture, people-process-tool alignment, and continuous practices
• Cloud computing concepts and service models
• Azure Boards for planning and tracking work
• Azure Repos, branches, forks, tags, and repository workflow
• Microsoft Azure Cloud, resource groups, access control, VMs, and App Services
• Build and release definitions in Azure DevOps
• YAML-based pipeline implementation and multistage automation

Built for readers who want a working understanding

This is a useful match for beginners entering DevOps, as well as technical readers who want a structured overview of Azure DevOps and Microsoft Azure Cloud. The content is especially helpful if you learn best by seeing how concepts connect across planning, code management, CI/CD, monitoring, and deployment.

A steady path from concept to pipeline

The book’s value lies in its progression. It starts with the language of Agile and DevOps, then gradually builds toward concrete implementation topics such as continuous integration, continuous delivery, and pipeline configuration. That makes it easier to follow the logic of modern delivery systems instead of memorizing isolated features.

If you are looking for an Azure-focused ebook that combines foundational explanation with practical DevOps workflow topics, this title fits that brief neatly.
