Click’n’Deployby Radu Pascal & Romulus Crisan

What we want to achieve

Naive deployment approach

by Radu Pascal & Romulus Crisan

Manually change config filesXcopy/Publish web applicationRun database scriptsRun scripts to install/update window servicesIndependent deploy Repeat for each server and environment

Continuous Integration

andContinuous Deployment

Real life example


Application Architecture

Database back-up

Run update script

Rollback if needed

Back-up current version

Environment specific configuration

Xcopy/FTP/publish

Multiple servers

Environment specific configuration

Install service using netstat

Is this ok ?


It’s ok, but:It can take lots of timeError proneNo easy way to see deployed version Rollbacks can be painfulLack of confidenceMultiply that by the number env.

Our approach


Automate, Automate, Automate !!

Before we build..

Source control

Can we build now?

Adding On-Premises Build Server

Instal TFS Build Server


Add a VSO user with enough rights to buildDownload TFS/TFS ExpressFollow the Wizard


Visual Studio Online Rights for Build Server User


Configure Team Foundation Build Service


Add your Visual Studio Online Account


Sign into the repository with a user with enough rights..

Finish setting The Build Server


- Setup .Net build environment or..- Install Visual Studio (Express)- Install any SDKs- Setup any licenses

Time to build..


Create a New Build Definition

Build Definitions


Gated – verify that code is compilable, and UTs are greenContinuous Integration – above plus generate deliverablesScheduled (Nightly) – above plus Automation Testing, and Automated Deploys

Other Build Servers?


Team CityCruise ControlJenkins

.. and don’t forget to create a MSBuild script

Ok, but how we build a

SPA?

Task runner


Grunt vs. GulpNode.js awesomenessPre-compile, concat, uglify, lint, tests Dev vs Prod

Our approach


Automate, Automate, Automate !!

Time to deploy..

Reasons


As simple as a few clicks..FastRemoves lots of human errorsReal time and history information
