The Build Release Pipeline Model for Mere Mortals

on YouTube ↗51m

" summary

Argues that ops can own CI/CD by example and shows it working: VSTS and Azure run PowerShell scripts, create artifacts (VHDs/AMIs) and deploy ARM templates, with secrets obfuscated and environments parameterized; a broken build gets fixed by forcing TLS 1.2; hosted agents vs private agents handle network access; test stage uses Pester infrastructure tests to validate ports and certs before release; notes free VSTS limit of 40 minutes of build time and that parallel environments and artifacts actually succeed.
