Let’s choose “Windows Web App” and move to the next step to provide Project and Azure Subscription details.
Once, all the information provides, Click on “Done” to create the Azure DevOps Project.
During this process, Azure DevOps creates all the necessary Azure Resources Group, Git Code Repository, Create CI and CD, and everything else that creates a basic version of the web application, take source code from Git, and deploys on a container.
From the dashboard, Navigate to Build pipeline when you can review the tasks created for the building your Node Apps, by the Azure DevOps Project.
From the dashboard, Navigate to Release pipeline when you can review the stages “dev” created for the deployment by the Azure DevOps Project.
