Agenda What is DevOps for BI folk SSIS Build SSIS Release Introducing DevOps Build and Release Pipeline Demo: Automated Build and Release Q+A

What is DevOps Automation of Build, Integration, Testing, Deployment Movement from: large batch deployment to small batch Deployment each quarter to 10 deploys a day It’s a cultural change https://www.amazon.com/Phoenix-Project-DevOps-Helping-Business/dp/0988262509

SSIS Deployment Models Project Deployment Legacy Package Deployment Entire Project deployed Per Package Deployment Project and Package Parameters Configurations “Builds” into and ispac file Separate dtsx and dtsconfig files Deployed to SSISDB Deployed to file or MSDB Executed via sql Dtexec compatible Executed via dtexec

Building Packages with SSIS Use Build Menu in Visual Studio Produces ispac file Can be automated from VS command line Some plug in for deployment products build too
