Description
Book SynopsisBuild and deploy applications by leveraging Azure PaaS and serverless services using Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions. This bookprovides step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and self-assessment questions thatwill help you gain the necessary expertise to build cloud-native solutions using Microsoft Azure and .NET. The book starts with essential topics that will help get you familiar with the fundamental concepts of Azure, followed by example-based guides on building distributed solutions using Azure Web App, Azure Messaging, and communication services. You will then learn how to implement the knowledge you've thus far gained to build containerized workloads using Azure Container-based services. Next, you will focus on building solutions by using Azure Storage and Data services, where you will go through Azure Blob Storage and learnhow to interact with Azure Cosmos DB from applications using the .NET SDK.Moving forward, you will explore how to build intel
