# Introduction

{% hint style="info" %}
The Azure DevOps Extension for SonarQube Cloud must be installed in your Azure DevOps organization: see [Azure DevOps Extension](/sonarqube-cloud/analyzing-source-code/scanners/sonarcloud-extension-for-azure-devops.md).
{% endhint %}

1. Before starting, read the [Azure Pipelines integration overview](/sonarqube-cloud/analyzing-source-code/ci-based-analysis/azure-pipelines/azure-pipelines-integration-overview.md) page.
2. Create your SonarQube Cloud project. See [Creating your project](/sonarqube-cloud/managing-your-projects/administering-your-projects/setting-up-project.md) and [Configuring Azure DevOps project binding](/sonarqube-cloud/managing-your-projects/administering-your-projects/devops-platform-integration/azure-devops.md).
3. Set up your project integration with Azure Pipelines. See [Configuring project for Azure Pipelines](/sonarqube-cloud/analyzing-source-code/ci-based-analysis/azure-pipelines/setting-up-project-integration.md).
4. Add the SonarQube Cloud analysis to your Azure build pipeline. Here are pages deadicated to each of the unique project types:
   * [Gradle or Maven project](/sonarqube-cloud/analyzing-source-code/ci-based-analysis/azure-pipelines/adding-analysis-to-build-pipeline/gradle-or-maven-project.md)
   * [.NET project](/sonarqube-cloud/analyzing-source-code/ci-based-analysis/azure-pipelines/adding-analysis-to-build-pipeline/dotnet-project.md)
   * [C family project](/sonarqube-cloud/analyzing-source-code/ci-based-analysis/azure-pipelines/adding-analysis-to-build-pipeline/c-family-project.md)
   * [JS, TS, Go, Python, PHP, etc. project](/sonarqube-cloud/analyzing-source-code/ci-based-analysis/azure-pipelines/adding-analysis-to-build-pipeline/js-ts-go-python-php.md)
   * [Monorepo projects](/sonarqube-cloud/analyzing-source-code/ci-based-analysis/azure-pipelines/adding-analysis-to-build-pipeline/monorepo-projects.md)
5. Review the [Checking quality gate in release pipeline](/sonarqube-cloud/analyzing-source-code/ci-based-analysis/azure-pipelines/quality-gate-status-in-release-pipeline.md) page.
6. Once your project has been successfully analyzed in your build pipeline, you can add a quality gate status widget to your project to monitor the status of your projects directly in your Azure DevOps dashboard. See the [Using various features](/sonarqube-cloud/analyzing-source-code/ci-based-analysis/azure-pipelines/adding-analysis-to-build-pipeline/various-features.md#adding-quality-gate-widget) article for more details.
