Azure DevOps
Planning, source, build, test, artifact, and deployment services.
Key points

- Safe delivery still requires immutable artifacts, environment separation, approvals, health gates, progressive exposure, and rollback.
Best-known use cases
- Promote a weekly release through tested stages while limiting blast radius.
What candidates often confuse it with
- Azure DevOps supplies delivery tooling; the target compute platform provides the runtime and its deployment primitives.
Key takeaway
Choose Azure DevOps when source, build, test, artifact, and controlled deployment stages need one governed workflow.
