Alongside your application getting integrated continuously, you have also seen some great benefits, such as detecting and fixing bugs, and other issues, much faster. Let's not stop there; improving your development process even further is much easier than you think!
We will now see how to adopt the CD of your application by creating an Azure DevOps release pipeline:
- Open the Azure DevOps website, click on Pipelines in the menu, click on Releases, then on the New definition button, and then select the Empty job definition template:
- You can now select the Project and the Source (build pipeline), enable the CD, and then click on the Create button:
- The release definition gets created, and you can see it in the list.
The sample release definition shown does not really do very much for now. We will see a much more advanced version later that deploys to Azure, in the corresponding Azure chapters.
