Azure DevOps 101: Pipelines
Let me start by saying fundamentally, Azure DevOps is a platform agnostic tool. You can use many different languages to deploy to many platforms. If you build in Node.JS, Python, Java, PHP, Ruby, C/C++, or .NET then you can use Azure DevOps. Likewise, if you deploy to Azure, AWS, GCP or even on-premise then you can use Azure DevOps. This makes it a really powerful tool. As expected, you can also deploy containers and push images to various different registries.
