Azure Infrastructure as Code is a comprehensive guide to seamlessly managing your application infrastructure with Azure's native IaC tools. The book is aimed at supporting collaboration between operations professionals and software developers, to help speed up and improve the quality of software delivery. After you master the basics, you'll dive into niche and advanced topics such as testing, reusing templates between multiple teams, and how you can define policy as code. Discover cutting-edge Deployment Stacks, and how they can help you clean up unused resources, group resources in logical containers to help visualize potential changes, and build starting plateaus for other teams to work on. About the Technology Infrastructure as code does away with time-consuming manual tasks—no more detailed scripts for creating the correct database or virtual machine. Instead, Azure's native IaC tools create infrastructure from a declarative specification in JSON (ARM) or a domain-specific language (Bicep). They empower users to create or recreate complete infrastructures with just a line of code, as well as take advantage of automation tools like Github Actions or Azure Pipelines.

Master ARM templates, Bicep, and other Azure Infrastructure-as-Code tools, techniques, and practices to build infrastructure on the Azure cloud.In Azure Infrastructure as Code you will learn how to: Create reusable infrastructure templates using advanced features of the ARM (Azure Resource Manager) syntax Write templates with the Azure Bicep domain-specific language (DSL) Test ARM and Bicep templates Deploy templates using deployment pipelines Guarantee repeated outcomes when you reuse templates to replicate infrastructure Share templates between teams Provision templates to provide standards and Azure Policy to enforce them Orchestrate complex deployments using Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions Pre-provision environments for other teams with deployment stacks Azure Infrastructure as Code teaches you to use Azure’s native infrastructure as code (IaC) tools, like ARM and Bicep, to build, manage, and scale infrastructure with just a few lines of code. You’ll discover ARM templates, deployment stacks, and the powerful new language Bicep. See how easy they make it to create new environments, safely make infrastructure changes, govern your resources using Azure Policy, and prevent configuration drift. Loaded with in-depth coverage of syntax and lots of illustrative examples, this hands-on guide is a must-read for anyone looking to expand their knowledge of provisioning. About the technology Automating tasks like provisioning servers, operating systems, and storage, saves time and radically increases consistency. The Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach brings the tools and practices of application deployment, such as Github Actions, automated testing, and pipeline-driven deployments, to infrastructure components. With Azure’s native IaC tools, you can create whole new infrastructures with just a few lines of code using declarative specifications and an intuitive domain-specific language. About the book Azure Infrastructure as Code shows you how to manage and automate your infrastructure using Azure’s IaC tools. In this practical guide, you’ll discover how to set up Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates and to script infrastructure creation using the Bicep DSL. You’ll also explore advanced topics such as testing, reusing templates, and defining policies as code. You’ll even build a complete CI/CD pipeline that can orchestrate a complex infrastructure deployment across multiple regions. What's inside Create reusable infrastructure templates Write templates with the Azure Bicep domain-specific language Deploy templates using deployment pipelines Share templates between teams About the reader For operations, infrastructure, or software engineers with some Azure experience.

A comprehensive guide to becoming a skilled Azure DevOps engineerKey FeaturesExplore a step-by-step approach to designing and creating a successful DevOps environmentUnderstand how to implement continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines on AzureIntegrate and implement security, compliance, containers, and databases in your DevOps strategiesBook DescriptionImplementing Azure DevOps Solutions helps DevOps engineers and administrators to leverage Azure DevOps Services to master practices such as continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), containerization, and zero downtime deployments.This book starts with the basics of continuous integration, continuous delivery, and automated deployments. You will then learn how to apply configuration management and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) along with managing databases in DevOps scenarios. Next, you will delve into fitting security and compliance with DevOps. As you advance, you will explore how to instrument applications, and gather metrics to understand application usage and user behavior. The latter part of this book will help you implement a container build strategy and manage Azure Kubernetes Services. Lastly, you will understand how to create your own Azure DevOps organization, along with covering quick tips and tricks to confidently apply effective DevOps practices.By the end of this book, you’ll have gained the knowledge you need to ensure seamless application deployments and business continuity.What you will learnGet acquainted with Azure DevOps Services and DevOps practicesImplement CI/CD processesBuild and deploy a CI/CD pipeline with automated testing on AzureIntegrate security and compliance in pipelinesUnderstand and implement Azure Container ServicesBecome well versed in closing the loop from production back to developmentWho this book is forThis DevOps book is for software developers and operations specialists interested in implementing DevOps practices for the Azure cloud.
