Wouter Ligtenberg

This session will bring you closer to learning how to kickstart Azure pipelines with templates, checking off the following phases on the way:

- getting familiar with Azure DevOps and quickly demystifying all the tools there

- learning how to create a simple YAML pipeline, store it an Azure repo and run it from Azure DevOps pipeline

- learning how to extend your pipeline to a multi-stage, multi-job one

- experiencing parallelism by running both stages and jobs in parallel to save time

- modularizing your stages into various templates and using them as such (like libraries, called from a single pipeline YAML)

This session aims at sharing insights on Azure pipeline templates which are a powerful way to scale your CI/CD flow throughout your organisation. At ING this is achieved with Azure DevOps templates (which some think of as Java classes).

Wouter Ligtenberg and Florin Ioanițescu will reveal how they moved from one different pipeline per team to one single pipeline used by all teams. They will also discuss modularity and flexibility; quality and maintainability; and versioning.
