Setting up Azure DevOps

This document seeks to cover key features in Azure DevOps and GitHub by providing relevant resources so that basic end-to-end DevOps tooling can be utilized. This document aims to serve as a collection of useful documents/links, and does not intend to be an exhaustive or step-by-step guide.
The sample code in this repository contains a basic build configuration, infrastructure-as-code, and .NET application code that can be imported into Azure DevOps (or leveraged directly from this repository) to help accelerate/provide a reference point for new projects.

Detailed phases of the DevOps cycle.
