Topic: VSTS Build Deployment with TFS Deployer
Date / Time: Wednesday, June 18th @ 5pm
Where: Microsoft
8300 Norman Center Dr., Suite 950
Bloomington, MN 55437
Description: TFS Deployer is an open source agent for monitoring TFS builds and automatically deploying them when they are ready for deployment. VSTS does not come with any ‘out of the box’ build deployment and distribution tools. Usually, users either add deployment scripts as part of the build process; create a separate build definition which is just used for deployment; or kick of build deployments manually. TFS deployer runs on a deployment server and automatically runs a batch file, powershell script or msbuild target when the build is ready and certified for deployment. We will discuss the installation, configuration and customization of TFS deployer and demonstrate its use. We will also discuss how to add a deployment approval workflow to further streamline deployments where a defined deployment process is required perhaps for SOX requirements.
