Doing some googling, I found out that there were some great tutorials out there to use an Azure DevOps CI/CD pipeline in combination with Hugo to compile and publish the blog. As a starter I followed this writing by kurtmkurtm.

You have found my personal blog. This blog will be focused around Microsoft Azure technologies, hence the name “something Azure”. Let me introduce myself, my name is Bas van de Sande and I work as an Azure Coding Architect at Xpirit in the Netherlands.

As part of my daily job, I offer technical guidance, advice and hands-on assistance for a large number of (global) companies in various industries.

I have been working with Microsoft technologies since 1995 in various technical roles, since that time I have seen a large number of technologies passing by (Visual Studio technologies, SQL Server, BizTalk, Microsoft.Net, SharePoint, Dynamics CE etc). In one of my former jobs I have been doing product development on the Dynamics CE platform annd back then I used to blog very actively on my journey into CRM. Over the years I came to realize, that the continuous story of my life is system integration.
