Azure DevOps: Provision API Infrastructure using Terraform - Full Course

In this full course, we’ll automatically provision an API on Azure including the infrastructure required to run it, (by defining the infrastructure as code)! You’ll be shown how to do this completely step by step using: .NET Core 3.1, Docker, Docker Hub, Azure DevOps, Terraform and Azure.

When done, you’ll understand the power of Infrastructure as Code!

azure devops docker api

This is a guide on how to use Azure DevOps to build and then publish a docker image as an Azure App Service, using Azure Container Registry.

Learn what are the most important API security threats engineering leaders should be aware of and steps you can take to prevent them

Following the second video about Docker basics, in this video, I explain Docker architecture and explain the different building blocks of the docker engine; docker client, API, Docker Daemon. I also explain what a docker registry is and I finish the video with a demo explaining and illustrating how to use Docker hub.

How to create, build, deploy and configure an Azure Function using Azure DevOps, Azure CLI and Powershell.

I’ve been working with Restful APIs for some time now and one thing that I love to do is to talk about APIs.
