  4. Source: Eric Minick & Glen O'Donnell The “Last Mile Problem” • Developers throw code over the fence. Ops throw it back! • Agile and Scrum teams should include SharePoint Admins in the team with multiple releases

  5. CD, IaC & devops • Continuous Delivery (CD) – deliver solutions faster, cheaper with less bugs using incremental changes to users. • devops = Dev + operations working together to cross the boundaries and deliver! • Infrastructure as Code (IaC) – Infrastructure described as code.

  6. CD, IaC & devops

  7. IaC for SharePoint 2013 • PowerShell with xml provides the ability to describe your full SharePoint 2013 farm. • VM’s (VMware, HyperV, cloud) • Networking, load balancers, AD, Golden Image • Tooling: • Chef/Puppet • TeamCity (here we go) • TFS Tip: PS + xml over visual tooling

  8. PowerShell, PowerCli, PowerGui & Xml • Treat Infrastructure like developers treat code – Check-in to source control (TFS) • DTAP and 1-click deployment (that will cost you a few dollars) • PowerCli, PowerGUI & XML to create VM’s. • PowerShell Tools for Visual Studio
