  1. Increasing Productivity by Moving Dev/Test to the Cloud JC Selph Senior Program Manager

  2. Why Dev and Test?

  3. What are the challenges in todays on-premises world Your datacenter Developers IT admin Compromised agility Request VMs Provision VMs Limited hardware budget Resource contention with VMs Realistic scale tests often challenging Procurement delays Average utilization of dedicated dev-test infrastructure Source: Business Case for Test Environment Management Whitepaper, Cognizant

  4. DevTest investments are significant 50% of infrastructure spent on non-production

  5. The new DevTest opportunity Traditional infrastructure deployment 80% unused capacity Auto-scaled, on-demand Azure capacity Demand 50% of infrastructure spent on non-production Time

  6. Azure DevTest Labs Solution for fast, easy, and agile dev-test environments in Azure. Fast provisioning Automation & self-service Cost control and governance

  7. Scenarios

  8. Developer machines Intranet

  9. Test environments  Check-in Build Test Release

  10. Training / Education

  11. Trial / Hackathon / Demo

  12. Demo: Lab User

  13. Demo: Lab Owner

  14. Image Factory Pattern

  15. Why Custom Images? Complexity: Complex setup (software + configuration) Want to centralize & standardize on the virtual machine configuration Cost: Installation + setup of software takes many hours Only want to pay for this compute time once Agility: Creating a fully configured virtual machine in a DevTest Lab must be fast (~10min) Compliance: Required configuration (like security policies) that must be in place for all machines

  16. Image Factories Recipe file VSTS Distribution file

  17. Demo

  18. FACTORY PATTERN

  19. VSTS Example Each script as separate task VSTS bubbles errors to the top for easier diagnostics Image Factory execution can be triggered via source changes, schedule, etc Code + Tasks stored in same project Continue on Failure
