Azure is a great platform because you can quickly create the infrastructure the need to support your applications. As you start duplicating infrastructure across environments or need to make changes, you need a way to automate that process and track changes.
This session will introduce you to the concept of Infrastructure as Code, introduce ARM templates to define your Azure environments, show you how to create ARM templates from Visual Studio and use Visual Studio Team Services as a version control system for your templates. I will then show you how to automatically deploy your infrastructure and code to Azure by using VSTS’s build and release management functionality.
You will learn about ARM template creation and automation, including how to automate deployments and how to track infrastructure and application changes
The happy hour, sponsored by OpsGenie, is going to be a extra festive event this year! It will be Thursday evening 5:30-9:30 at the Saengerrunde Hall next to Scholz Garten, a 12 minute walk from the stadium (or a 7-minute $1.25 metro bus ride basically door to door, or a super short drive to the free city garage parking across the street from it). Besides Star Wars themed cocktails, local Austin craft beer, nonalcoholic drinks, and Star Wars themed food from Frank’s there will be bowling, karaoke with a live band, a jam band (with John Willis on bass!), dancing, door prizes (top prize: $250 Amazon Gift Card and a pass to DevOps Days Austin 2018), board/card games, a Star Wars photo booth, and more. We’re putting all our past happy hours to shame. Bring your own instrument for the acoustic jam on the rooftop, the band will provide instruments to jam with in the hall.
