Azure DevOps with GitHub: 6-week POC

Establishing an efficient Azure DevOps Organization within your development team is the first key step in the creation of a modern development shop. You need the ability to build, test, automate, and deploy more efficiently, and at a quicker pace.

Atmosera will help you deliver better software, faster, with higher quality and at a lower cost, by putting in place the foundations of a modern Azure DevOps environment.

We will walk through modern Azure DevOps practices with Microsoft Azure and GitHub, the industry standard platforms for collaborative development. Together we will identify the current state and create a plan to move to a modern Azure DevOps organization. We will identify a POC and then implement it as a demo project. Along the way, we will set up your core Azure DevOps foundations, while covering many aspects of Azure DevOps and GitHub, including GitHub repositories, Azure pipelines, build automation, and more. We will show you how Azure DevOps and GitHub are “better together,” delivering a best value solution.
