How do you create a build pipeline for .NET in Azure DevOps?

Short answer: Use Azure Pipelines → Create new YAML pipeline or Classic pipeline. Example YAML for ASP.NET Core: trigger: main pool: vmImage: 'windows-latest' steps: task: UseDotNet@2 inputs: packageType: 'sdk' version: '7.x' script: dotnet build --configuration Release displayName: 'Build project' script: dotnet test --no-build --verbosity normal displayName: 'Run tests'

Real-world example (ShopNest)

ShopNest on Azure typically uses App Service + SQL Database + Blob Storage + Application Insights for monitoring.

Say this in the interview

1. Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
2. Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
3. Trade-off — when you would not use it.
