I’m by no means a devops expert and while I have used Jenkins before, the only times I’ve had to design a CI/CD system from scratch I used either Microsoft’s hosted version of TFS (with git) -VSTS or AWS’s Code Pipeline.

With AWS Codepipeline, you can also specify a custom Docker image with your build environment and all of the tools you need - it’s in fact required if you want to build on Windows with the .Net framework (not .Net Core) and it’s also orchestrated with yml files.

I much prefer that approach to Jenkins.
