The AZ-400 exam is a very in-depth exam around the use and configuration of Azure DevOps to build reliable and maintainable DevOps solutions. The idea of DevOps is to provide a way to bring tools, people, and processes together to move the bar left – meaning that defects and issues are resolved early in the process, thereby saving companies money and resources. The exam pretty much leaves no stone unturned, so there are a lot of things that need to be understood well in order to do well on the exam – it’s not just “write some YAML to build and deploy my solution.” Of course, that is a big part of the exam, but you also need to know how to use the Azure ecosystem to provide a robust or “rugged” DevOps solution. This episode will guide you through preparing for the Azure DevOps Engineer exam (AZ-400) and what you need to know/learn to be successful.
