Automated DevOps in .NET and Azure using JetBrains TeamCity Cloud

July 20th @ 1:30pm CDT (-5 UTC)

Automated DevOps in .NET and Azure using JetBrains TeamCity Cloud

TeamCity is the most powerful and mature build server for .NET teams. But it also is a tremendous orchestrator for automated DevOps environments, including continuous delivery.

In this webinar, you will learn how to set up a DevOps continuous delivery pipeline managed by TeamCity.

Integrating Post-Deploy Smoke Testing, Health Monitoring, and Automatic Environment Scaling into Deployments with Octopus Deploy

September 28th @ 1:30pm CDT (-5 UTC)

Integrating Post-Deploy Smoke Testing, Health Monitoring, and Automatic Environment Scaling into Deployments with Octopus Deploy

Octopus Deploy is the best-of-breed tool for automated deployments. But there are other important capabilities any software team must have after deploying to production.

You must know that the application started up and is healthy. You must know that it remains healthy at all time. And you must have a way to scale up and down the environment to match the tides of usage across your user base.

Especially with operating bills being tied to usage in Azure, if most of your users are in the same time zone, you have daily tides where little usage happens at night. Why not scale down the environment at night and save 30% in cloud costs?

In this webinar, Chief Architect Jeffrey Palermo will share all these and more so that you can equip your team with a post-deploy DevOps environment that empowers the software team to focus on new features rather than manually monitoring and scaling the production environment.

Webinar: CI/CD Pipelines for .NET With TeamCity

October 3rd @ 10:30am CDT (-5 UTC)

CI/CD Pipelines for .NET With TeamCity

TeamCity is a powerful CI/CD tool that supports all programming languages and integrates with all popular technologies used for building and testing software.

In this webinar, you will learn how to set up a DevOps continuous delivery pipeline for .NET and Azure. You will see in detail how to configure TeamCity to run a fully capable DevOps pipeline complete with CI build, unit tests, integration tests, full system acceptance tests, UAT deployments, post-deployment health checks, and feature branching.

Join longtime TeamCity expert, Jeffrey Palermo, and US consulting partner, Clear Measure, for a thorough, hands-on demo on the latest in DevOps automation for .NET and Azure. The webinar will be co-hosted by Khalid Abuhakmeh, a JetBrains Developer Advocate for .NET.

Description

“Executives don’t understand what we do!” exclaims the developer. “Developers don’t understand how much this is costing us!” the executive responds.

Across our industry, executives are frustrated that they can’t get straight answers to simple questions like “When will it be finished?” And Developers are frustrated that executives are always changing their minds, asking for ambiguous things, and then wanting concrete deadlines.

In this webinar, we are going to explore the reasons for the communication mismatch. We’ll share how developers can better speak the executive language and how executives can better communicate with their software teams.

The webinar host, Jeffrey Palermo, has been a programmer since 1997 and has been managing programmers since 2006. He has bridged both worlds, loves helping software teams succeed, and enjoys helping executives oversee their software teams better.

Description

Once a software project or new application gets going, the focus tends to be on features. The code has been written but not deployed frequently, so the team starts to slow down right from the get-go.

It might be tempting to think you don’t need DevOps automation just yet. But choosing not to put in a particular process is implicitly deciding to put in a manual process.

In this webinar, Clear Measure & Octopus Deploy architects show you how simple and clear automated DevOps can be.

Learn how straightforward it is to put it in at the beginning. You will never have a point where you must “stop the bus” and “stop delivering features” to catch up with technical infrastructure that would have been so much easier at the beginning.

The topic will cover the architecture and design thinking of automated DevOps, including deployments using best-of-breed tools, Octopus Deploy, Azure, and Azure Pipelines.

Description

Many businesses have decided to have internal software development teams; even tech companies. Over the last 25 years, many non-technical companies have outsourced the creation of software. They lost a lot of money, didn’t get what they thought they would get, and shifted to operating software engineering teams in-house.

They still consider custom software to be the best strategy, but they want more control by hiring their own employees. As a result, these companies become frustrated, feeling like they’ve lost control. They are frustrated that having the in-house team doesn’t actually increase the pace of delivery or solve every problem.

This webinar aims to go over the common categories that consume the time and capacity of software teams everywhere. I hope that once you understand where your team’s time is going, you can make decisions to change and redirect the effort to obtain the desired progress.
