Both public and private cloud configurations are also supported by the new services.

About Azure DevOps Workshop & Training:

This 1 day (8 hrs.) Azure DevOps Workshop & Training in Pune (Hands-On Session) is hosted by OPTIMISTIK INFOSYSTEMS (www.optimistikinfo.com), a preferred name for High Quality Learning Solutions and presented by Mr. Subodh Sohoni , one of the most renowned speaker on the subject. This course includes hands-on labs to reinforce practical skills and ensure you’re ready to use the tools on your return to your workplace.

Azure DevOps (Formerly called Visual Studio Team Services - VSTS) offer DevOps capabilities version control, build and release management, testing and packaging solutions that are different than the ones offered in earlier version of TFS and VSO. This workshop focusses on sprint planning, git, build, release and deploy .NET Applications using these new systems. It covers using agile planning tools, git repositories, cross-platform build system introduced in Azure DevOps (VSTS) and Release Management service of Azure DevOps (VSTS). At the end of the course the participants will be able to do the sprint planning, code versioning using git, set the Continuous Integration Continuous Deployment pipeline.
