Azure Repo:
o Create a new remote repository in Azure Repos
o Create multiple branches like develop/release and main
o Make random commits in the newly created branches
o Try different merge types Basic/Squash/Rebase and Semi-linear
o Try cherry-picking through Pull Request
o Try reverting through a Pull request
o Set up TAGS to the latest commits
o Setup branch policies and create PR to test

Agent Pools:
o Create a self-hosted agent pool on the Local system
o Test the newly created local system by running the release pipeline

Azure Key-Vault:
o Create an Azure Key Vault on Azure Cloud
o Add a secret in the newly created Vault {UserName, Password}

o Include ARM templates in the build pipeline {Created in the earlier sessions}
 o Run the build pipeline and make sure .zip artifact is getting created in the drop
location
o Create a single-stage release pipeline to deploy the .net application
o Convert the single stage into multi-stages using Variables

Project-2 (JAVA - Maven Web Application):

Project-3 (SQL DB Automation):

o Download the pre-shared dacpac file, used during the session
o Create a database repository and cloned it on your local system
o Create Azure managed SQL server on Azure cloud
o Create SQL Server project under cloned repository and import dacpac file
o Add SQL scripts under the project and create post (insert) scripts under the
SCRIPT folder
o Push all your changes to a remote repository
o Create database build and release pipelines
o And try deploying your changes to Az SQL server

Docker
