1
00:00:01,140 --> 00:00:02,420
From out of left field,

2
00:00:02,420 --> 00:00:05,680
there is an AZ‑800 exam objective called continuous

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,780
delivery for Azure Virtual Machines,

4
00:00:07,780 --> 00:00:10,910
and the thing about this is that there is an entirely separate

5
00:00:10,910 --> 00:00:13,840
expert level certification on Azure DevOps,

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,380
actually the cert is called Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert, and you can,

7
00:00:18,380 --> 00:00:20,810
again, read more about it in the exercise files.

8
00:00:20,810 --> 00:00:22,620
I know I say that every couple of minutes.

9
00:00:22,620 --> 00:00:24,480
So we're not going to spend a lot of time on here,

10
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:25,840
but what I want to show you,

11
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,660
and I think I showed you the same CI/CD example in a previous module,

12
00:00:30,660 --> 00:00:33,200
and there is the citation in the lower right of the slide,

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,360
but the idea is that you can deploy your workload,

14
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:36,910
this time,

15
00:00:36,910 --> 00:00:40,940
we're not talking about the pipeline so much as we are the destination.

16
00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:44,460
You can deploy your workload anywhere to Platform as a Service,

17
00:00:44,460 --> 00:00:45,980
to Infrastructure as a Service,

18
00:00:45,980 --> 00:00:49,240
but let's say that you're building software in Azure DevOps that you've

19
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,680
got your build pipeline and your release pipeline,

20
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,370
and you're targeting Azure Virtual Machines.

21
00:00:54,370 --> 00:00:55,560
In this case,

22
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,620
the way this links in is that you would specify

23
00:00:58,620 --> 00:01:00,250
what's called a deployment group,

24
00:01:00,250 --> 00:01:04,370
that is you can logically connect these machines that are in Azure,

25
00:01:04,370 --> 00:01:04,900
and frankly,

26
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:07,790
you can include out of Azure machines or off Azure

27
00:01:07,790 --> 00:01:10,570
machines in deployment groups as well, but for our purposes,

28
00:01:10,570 --> 00:01:13,260
let's assume that we're deploying to Azure VMs,

29
00:01:13,260 --> 00:01:15,100
and in that deployment group,

30
00:01:15,100 --> 00:01:18,710
the way that you would onboard your Azure Virtual Machines is simply run a

31
00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:23,610
deployment script that handshakes or registers the Azure VM with your Azure

32
00:01:23,610 --> 00:01:26,910
DevOps project and with your deployment group specifically,

33
00:01:26,910 --> 00:01:28,740
and then in your release pipeline,

34
00:01:28,740 --> 00:01:32,350
you would simply target your deployment to those virtual machines.

35
00:01:32,350 --> 00:01:35,940
I'll show you that in demo to make the concept a little bit clearer

36
00:01:35,940 --> 00:01:38,440
if you're not yet familiar with Azure DevOps.

37
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,150
If you want to know more, my colleague, Marcel de Vries,

38
00:01:41,150 --> 00:01:43,050
is one of my favorite Pluralsight authors.

39
00:01:43,050 --> 00:01:47,000
He's got a whole bunch of courses on Azure DevOps. He's just fantastic.
