WHAT I WANT YOU TO EXPERIENCE TODAY

Some tips and tricks for Teamcity

Experience Octopusdeploy

Get to appreciate PowerShell

WHY CONTINUOUS DEPLOYMENT?

Shorter time between releases smaller impact

New features faster happier customers and improved learning

Bug impact

Features

Automated deploy more time for development and happier developers

Time

WHERE SHOULD I START?

Visualize what is needed for you to make a complete deployment

Build

(5 min)

Test

(5 min)

Provision server

(1 hr)

Deploy

(20 min)

Then ask the following questions:

• How often do I do each step during a day/week/month?

• Which step can I improve?

My guess is; build, test, deploy and last provision of server

WHAT CAN I DO?

Smaller solutions

Decouple projects

Minimize DB-test/test setup

Minimize network traffic

Optimize code

Parallel testing

Build

Test

Clear artifacts

Automated deploy

Repetitive

OCTOPUS DEPLOY PROCESS

Pre deploy

Deploy

Post deploy

• PreDeploy.ps1

• Check environment

• Configure environment

• Copy files needed for deploy

• Deploy.ps1

• Run transformations of config files

• Octopus does IIS setup

• PostDeploy.ps1

• Delete files

• Clean up

PowerShell is the key to great success!

OCTOPUS CONCEPTS

An environment contains one or many machines

Adding a machine is done in one place instead of in every project

Defines where to deploy

Multiple machines can have the same role in one environment deploy to multiple machines at once

Environments

Roles

OCTOPUS CONCEPTS

A collection of projects

Map environment to project groups

Great if you have multiple customers

Definition of what to deploy

One project can multiple deploy steps

A step can:

• Deploy a NuGet package

• Run a PowerShell script

• Send an email

• Require manual intervention

• Deploy to Windows Azure

• Upload files by FTP

Variables can be configured per environment, role, machine and/or step

Project groups

Project

OCTOPUS CONCEPTS

A definition of a release

Has a version number

Contains specific packages (version can differ from release version)

An actual deploy of a release

Release package

Deploy

PowerShell

GETTINGS STARTED WITH PROGRAMMING IIS IN POWERSHELL

> Import-Module WebAdministration> $iisAppPoolsPath = "IIS:\AppPools\MyAppPool"> New-Item $iisAppPoolsPath

Name State Applications---- ----- ------------MyAppPool Started

> $iisSitesPath = "IIS:\Sites\MySite"> New-Item $iisSitesPath -bindings @{protocol="http";bindingInformation="*:8321:*"} -physicalPath "c:\tmp"

Name ID State Physical Path Bindings---- -- ----- ------------- --------MySite 5 Stopped c:\tmp http *:8321:*

> Set-ItemProperty $iisSitesPath -name applicationPool -value "MyAppPool"> Start-Website "MySite"
