Super cool news: you can containerise your repository on Azure DevOps :)

Using Docker on the cloud, especially together with Azure DevOps, is like having a supercharged toolbox for building and running software. Docker containers allows faster deployment, while Azure DevOps helps teams work together smoothly with CI/CD process. This combination of Docker and Azure Devops makes developers' live much easier to quickly build, test and launch app.

Key benefits

Let's get right to key benefits of using Docker in Azure DevOps:

  • Consistency across environments/machines: No more “this works on my machine, why doesn't it work on yours?”. Additionally, this combination allows the consistency on environment level, meaning that there won't be mismatch among different environments (development, staging and production).
  • Simplified building application process: Dockers ensures that all interconnected components are all under the same roof, simplifying the app building process.
  • High level of control: Developers can easily revert to previous image version if something breaks/went wrong in current version.
  • Cost Savings: Containers are often lightweight and can run on the same hardware as the host operating system, leading to infrastructure cost deduction.
