In this course Ihave covered the CI and CD using Azure Devops.

In software engineering, CI/CD or CICD is the combined practices of continuous integration and either continuous delivery or continuous deployment.

CI/CD bridges the gaps between development and operation activities and teams by enforcing automation in building, testing and deployment of applications.
