Configure continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) for your IoT Edge application with DevOps Projects. DevOps Projects simplifies the initial configuration of a build and release pipeline in Azure Pipelines.
In the following steps you can see how easy it is to build your Continuous integration and continuous deployment to Azure IoT Edge with DevOps Project :
Select Simple IoT
Click on Next.
From here you set your Azure DevOps organization to your Azure IoT Hub. Click on additional settings
In additional settings you can set :
Select Container Registry Plan
Azure Container Registry allows you to store images for all types of container deployments including DC/OS, Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, and Azure services such as App Service, Batch, Service Fabric, and others. Your DevOps team can manage the configuration of apps isolated from the configuration of the hosting environment.
More information about Azure Container Registry and pricing
Azure DevOps Project will do the rest of the deployment.
Of course Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is possible by ARM JSON Template.
Save the template for later.
here you got your ARM Templates.
Later you will see when you complete the deployment, that your JSON ARM template is in Azure DevOps Repo.
You can connect your Azure DevOps Repo via the portal but also via Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code.
The resources coming into myiotpipeline-rg
MyIOTPipeline-IoTHub is created.
MyIOTPipelineACR Container Registry is created.
MyIOTPipeline with Azure DevOps is created 🙂
Your Continuous integration and continuous deployment to Azure IoT Edge is deployed and active. Now you have your Azure Pipeline in place to continuously update your IoT Device App. From here you can go to Azure DevOps Project Homepage.
Via Agent phase you can see all the jobs of the deployment.
Azure DevOps Pipeline Release
here we have Azure DevOps Repos
Azure DevOps Services includes free unlimited private Git repos, so Azure Repos is easy to try out. Git is the most commonly used version control system today and is quickly becoming the standard for version control. Git is a distributed version control system, meaning that your local copy of code is a complete version control repository. These fully functional local repositories make it easy to work offline or remotely. You commit your work locally, and then sync your copy of the repository with the copy on the server.
Git in Azure Repos is standard Git. You can use the clients and tools of your choice, such as Git for Windows, Mac, partners’ Git services, and tools such as Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code.
All the Azure Resources for the IoT Edge Pipeline with Azure DevOps.
When you have your Azure DevOps Pipeline with IoT Edge devices running, you can monitor your pipeline with Analytics inside Azure DevOps.
Click Next.
Click on Install Analytics.
Select the right Azure DevOps Organization for your IoT Edge Pipeline.
Done !
Analytics is now active, you can make automated test plans in Azure DevOps and see the results via Analytics.
Azure DevOps Overview Dashboard.
There are a lot of predefined Analytics Views for you shared.
An Analytics view provides a simplified way to specify the filter criteria for a Power BI report based on the Analytics Service data store. The Analytics Service provides the reporting platform for Azure DevOps.
More information about Analytics in Azure DevOps here
Easy to start with Powerbi and Azure DevOps Connector.
Planned manual testing
Plan, execute, and track scripted tests with actionable defects and end-to-end traceability. Assess quality throughout the development lifecycle by testing your desktop or web applications.
More information about making your testplan for your IoT Edge Devices Azure DevOps Pipeline
When you connect Microsoft Azure IoT Edge – HUB with your Internet of Things Devices and combine it with Microsoft Azure DevOps Team to develop your Azure IoT Pipeline, then you are in fully control of Continuous integration and continuous deployment to Azure IoT Edge. From here you can make your innovations and Intelligent Cloud & Edge with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to your Devices. You will see that this combination will be Awesome for HealthCare, Smart Cities, Smart Buildings, Infrastructure, and the Tech Industry.
In this Microsoft article, you learn how to use the built-in Azure IoT Edge tasks for Azure Pipelines to create two pipelines for your IoT Edge solution. The first takes your code and builds the solution, pushing your module images to your container registry and creating a deployment manifest. The second deploys your modules to targeted IoT Edge devices.

Microsoft Azure Security CenterWhen you have your Hybrid Cloud Enterprise Design ready in a Microsoft HUB-Spoke model and your Security in place, you can do your optimize on your Azure workloads and keep up-to-date for your compliancy. Microsoft Azure Security Center can support you in Security and Compliancy (GDPR). Here you see my former blogposts about Microsoft Azure HUB-Spoke model architecture and Security by design :
Security in software is always on the move and changing in this world, when you think you are ready something has changed already. That’s why I love Microsoft Azure Security Center to keep you posted and giving you advise on Security but also on Compliancy.
From here you see a high-level overview of these new possibilities in Microsoft Azure Security Center :

Here some work I did for the Community in 2018 :
Rocking with Azure in the Classroom !
I will continue every day sharing knowledge with the Community and continue my Free work on MVPbuzz Friday for Education to get Azure Cloud Technology in the Classroom for Teachers and Students.
The trend I see for 2019 is more Infrastructure and Security by Code with Microsoft Azure DevOps
and of course you have to be in Control with Microsoft Azure Monitor
I will write a blogpost in January 2019 about Microsoft Azure Hub-Spoke model by Enterprise Design 4 of 4 : Optimize your Azure Workload.
More Items in 2019 to come :
