Our story DevOps is a combination of culture, process, and tools Microsoft Ignite 2016 9/19/2018 6:27 AM Our story DevOps is a combination of culture, process, and tools You can’t buy it (DevOps != VSTS) And we only have an hour… so we’ll stick to practical steps There is no single way to do DevOps Even if you snap to a product like VSTS But lots of good examples for teams of various sizes so borrow what works This is the story of our team Built a web app serving a global audience Multi-tiered loosely coupled .NET app running on Azure Numerous integration partners incl. on premises Soft launched, regular feature & bug fix releases Team size of around ~20 people © 2016 Microsoft Corporation.

Plan + Track Make VSTS the source of truth Design for process change Microsoft Ignite 2016 9/19/2018 6:27 AM Plan + Track Make VSTS the source of truth Say no to email, Excel, and SharePoint Backlog items, tasks, bugs but also TODOs, questions, CRs, PRs, tests, meeting actions… Design for process change The process should evolve JIT and be user-driven; the platform – VSTS, aka VSO, aka TFS – releases every three weeks so expect it Customize your dashboards, boards, work items, queries & process templates Reach your team Insufficient engagement == failure Direct connect through @mentions, integrate with Slack etc., or fallback to tools like Excel Build team-specific experiences © 2016 Microsoft Corporation.

Develop + Test: Process Microsoft Ignite 2016 9/19/2018 6:27 AM Develop + Test: Process Enterprise-style branching Git branches are cheap but long running branches create merge debt so PR regularly Master should always be in a known good state so prevent direct merges Ready or not, it’s going to production so use feature flags if it’s not ready Week 1 Week 2 Week 3  N-2 N-1 Master Test Dev © 2016 Microsoft Corporation.

Develop + Test: Process Enterprise-style branching Git branches are cheap but long running branches create merge debt so PR regularly Master should always be in a known good state so prevent direct merges Ready or not, it’s going to production so use feature flags if it’s not ready Drive visibility through VSTS Start your branch from VSTS: keeps work item associated & supports unexpected absences Finish your branch with VSTS: use pull request to require feedback but also share knowledge

Develop + Test: Process Enterprise-style branching Git branches are cheap but long running branches create merge debt so PR regularly Master should always be in a known good state so prevent direct merges Ready or not, it’s going to production so use feature flags if it’s not ready Drive visibility through VSTS Start your branch from VSTS: keeps work item associated & supports unexpected absences Finish your branch with VSTS: use pull request to require feedback but also share knowledge Build & test on every commit Require successful build before a merge Hosted build is cheap & reliable but IO is slow + tool chain is auto-upgraded

Wrap Up There is no one way to do DevOps Microsoft tools worked for us Microsoft Ignite 2016 9/19/2018 6:27 AM Wrap Up There is no one way to do DevOps It’s more than just technology: it spans culture, process, & tools Every vendor will have a different spin so take what works for you Microsoft tools worked for us It’s not just VSTS: architecture, Azure, .NET, AAD, etc. need to be considered Keep in mind our patterns aren’t the only way – or may be even the right way – to use them Start small and then fail fast + often Don’t stop improving Empower your team to innovate and drive the evolution And build on a platform that adopts the same attitude © 2016 Microsoft Corporation.
