5. Devops…
“...is a term used to refer to a set of practices that emphasize the collaboration and communication of both software developers and information technology (IT) professionals while automating the process of software delivery and infrastructure changes. It aims at establishing a culture and environment where building, testing, and releasing software can happen rapidly, frequently, and more reliably.”
To long ey?

9. Devops@SnelStart Never had a operations group
Extended development to include operations
At the start: 2 people, 8 hours per deployment
Six months in: automation
Initially no business support
Two weeks “rogue development”
Flawless first automated deploy to production

10. Devops@SnelStart Now specialized operations dudes
Expertise, advising, 2 desks away
Further monitoring and communication only
Developers still troubleshoot
On-call schedule for developers, not operations
Next steps
Slowly move to TFS Release Management
Practice infrastructure as code as well
- One on call schedule; everyone supports everything

11. Continuous Delivery is an IT responsibility, do not ask the business for permission
It is 2017 you are obligated by professionalism IMHO

12. VSTS and/or TFS2017

13. Paper covers rock, VSTS trumps Octo
One integrated experience for ALM
No extra licensing costs
No extra training costs
Broader support than just services
F. e. Binaries, setups, NuGET packages
Relate work items to releases
- I prefer VSTS over Octo, I have to admit there is no clear winner if you are not invested on the MS stack yet

14. NEW
Warning: It changes! Yes, it really does every couple weeks!
Every 3 weeks

15. Demo I: ApiTest Demo II: MockAnApi Awesome testing utility
Two NuGet feeds: private and public
Demo II: MockAnApi
Awesome Api mocking service
Two deployments: test and production
- One on call schedule; everyone supports everything
