DevOps for C# (.NET) Developers: Automation, CI/CD, and Cloud Solutions
DevOps for C# (.NET) Developers: Automation, CI/CD, and Cloud Solutions
Summary:
The book "DevOps for C# (.NET) Developers" is a practical guide that helps developers on the .NET platform master modern DevOps practices and integrate them into their daily work. The author, Alexey Sokolov, an experienced DevOps engineer and .NET developer, shares proven approaches and real-world industry cases.
Who is this book for?
- C# developers who want to automate the build, testing, and deployment of their projects.
- Team Leads and architects planning to implement CI/CD in .NET teams.
- System administrators transitioning to working with cloud platforms and containerization of .NET applications.
What you will learn:
- How to set up CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions for .NET projects.
- Basics of application containerization with Docker and orchestration with Kubernetes (k8s) as applied to C#.
- Automation of deployment in cloud environments (Azure, AWS) using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, ARM templates).
- Monitoring and logging of .NET applications in production (Application Insights, Prometheus, Grafana).
- Configuration and secret management (Azure Key Vault, User Secrets).
- Working with microservice architecture and Service Fabric for .NET.
The book is built on practical examples: from a simple console application to a complex microservice solution. All scenarios are provided with ready-made scripts and templates that can be adapted to your tasks. Special attention is paid to security and process optimization.
By the end of the book, you will be able to independently design and maintain a full DevOps cycle for .NET projects, reducing time-to-market and increasing release stability. This is an indispensable guide for those who want to go beyond "pure development" and learn to manage the application lifecycle.
Recommended for developers with a basic knowledge of C# and the .NET platform. Familiarity with the basics of the command line and Git is a plus, but not required—all necessary concepts are explained from scratch.
