Deployment and DevOps

Microsoft connects application deployment on Azure with CI/CD, monitoring and maintenance. A later module considers Copilot-assisted deployment scripts and pipelines before the final project. This is the closing course of its back-end developer sequence, so its beginner label should be read alongside the requirement to complete the preceding courses.

What you will learn

• Describe an Azure application deployment workflow.
• Connect GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps with CI/CD.
• Explain monitoring and maintenance after deployment.

Who this suits

The course is labeled beginner level but requires completion of the other courses in Microsoft’s Back-End Developer Professional Certificate.

Before you enroll

Check the current tool versions and exercise environment before enrolling. Use an isolated practice application, keep credentials out of repositories and compare the behavior of a failed deployment with a successful one.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Write a deployment plan for a practice application. Identify a monitoring signal and a rollback condition before reviewing an AI-assisted version of the script.
