FAQ – DevOps on Azure (AZ-2008) Training
What is the AZ-2008 course?
AZ-2008 is Microsoft’s official training reference for implementing DevOps on Azure, covering Azure DevOps Services, GitHub Actions on Azure, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code with Bicep and Terraform, monitoring with Azure Monitor, and DevOps culture and practices. MFE-IT trains DevOps engineers and developers on the full AZ-2008 curriculum with intensive hands-on work.
What is the difference between Azure DevOps and GitHub?
Azure DevOps Services and GitHub are both Microsoft-owned, but Azure DevOps targets enterprise teams needing tight integration with on-premises Active Directory, classic release pipelines, and detailed work item tracking, while GitHub focuses on open-source-style collaboration, GitHub Actions, and a broader developer ecosystem. Microsoft is gradually unifying both. The MFE-IT DevOps on Azure AZ-2008 training compares both platforms and helps teams choose.
How do you implement CI/CD on Azure?
Implementing CI/CD on Azure typically uses Azure Pipelines or GitHub Actions: define YAML workflows triggered by Git events, run tests and security scans, build artifacts, then deploy to Azure App Service, AKS, Container Apps, or VMs through stages with approvals. Through MFE-IT’s hands-on approach, learners build a complete production-grade CI/CD pipeline for a sample microservice during the training.
What is Bicep used for?
Bicep is Microsoft’s domain-specific language for declaring Azure infrastructure as code, transpiled to ARM templates at deployment. It offers a much cleaner syntax than raw ARM JSON, full type safety, modules, and integration with Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions. Our MFE-IT training course on DevOps on Azure AZ-2008 covers Bicep for production-grade infrastructure deployments.
