Competition in today's markets is driving DevOps throughout organizations to achieve business agility and reduce time to market while innovating through multiple feedback channels. This workshop will provide hands on experience for using Visual Studio Teams Services and Azure to implement DevOps practices. You will build out a release pipeline deploying a web application through multiple stages into production maximizing efficiencies using automation for infrastructure, builds, testing, and deployments. Come ready with your MSDN Azure benefits enabled to maximize the value of this fast paced workshop. Leave with the tools and knowledge how to implement DevOps using VSTS and Azure.

How many times have you implemented a feature in your development environment only to see it fail in production? This happens because our development, testing, and production environments often have significant differences that make shipping software less reliable. This talk will detail how to bridge this "gap" in environments with Docker.

Vagrant has helped us create reproducible development environments, but is hard to extend to production. Provisioning tools like Chef and Puppet can automate DevOps infrastructure, but aren't meant for development. Docker and containerization, however, allows us to duplicate our tools across environments to enable faster and more reliable deployments. We will learn about the best practices in achieving this goal, as well as the current challenges.
