DevOps at Microsoft Build 2017
Our goal is to make adopting Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery wickedly simple and approachable for any dev team. I’m so excited to see that progress month over month and it was great to share the awesome news!
The Build conference was a fun & amazing week in Seattle this year. It was great seeing everyone who came to our sessions and the booths. Talking with everyone at the booth, I got the impression that many of your are excited in transforming your development process and that we are investing in the right places to help make your lives better as you adopt DevOps practices. That’s always so exciting to hear so thank you for continually sharing your thoughts!
I’ll summarize the highlights below and I also had the chance to record two podcast episodes so I’ll update when those are published too.
DevOps Foundational Session
Sam Guckenheimer and I had the great opportunity to be able to deliver the DevOps Foundational session at Build with all of the awesome announcements of Microsoft’s latest investments for enabling every team to easily adopt DevOps practices. We made a lot of announcements and then gave a roadmap of the other sessions at Build that would be diving in deeper for each of the announcements. Be sure to check them out!
The recording of our session is available on Channel 9 and on the Visual Studio YouTube channel so be sure to check them out.
