S02-E01: Five Things about Azure DevOps - short version
The Five Things series on MSDN Channel 9 anchored by Burke Hollands has informal answers by Microsoft experts to interesting questions all in about 5 minutes along with some no holds barred, light banter. Giving it a funny spin in the mould of US sitcoms, the tech talk series is in Season 2 now. Along with 10-minute Azure Friday, these 2 talk shows make Azure topics informative & entertaining
Here is the short version of Five Things about Azure DevOps from the cleaned up subtitles file:
# 1. What is Azure DevOps?
Azure DevOps is the new product name for Visual Studio Team Services which is Microsoft's DevOps product.
It's Microsoft's DevOps product and DevOps lifecycle from Source Control and Work Item planning, all the way through to your Builds and Releases, and monitoring...what's happening in production and everything about your application.
DevOps itself is not really a tool.
Microsoft's definition of DevOps is the union of people,process and products..and delivering continuous value.
Can't you just right click "Deploy"?
No. You cannot do that.
# 2. What is it that Azure DevOps actually does?
It is the product that streamlines all of the stuff you need to do for DevOps.
It'll hold your Source Control, it tracks your items, your work items, the things you're going to do, it does your Builds, it does your Releases, and it helps you monitor what's going on in production with your application.
You can plug in GitHub, you can grab your source code from pretty much anywhere. It can even talk to other deployment processes and other tools that you might already use.
So, you don't have to use all of it, but it's all there for you.
What about Visual SourceSafe?
You can maybe use that, if you want.
# 3. How much is this going to cost me?
It is free, for up to five users.
But if you have a Visual Studio Enterprise subscription, then that doesn't count towards that, and you have a limited number of Build minutes, with a host of Builds. It's included in the Enterprise subscription.
# 4. Azure DevOps, formerly known as Visual Studio Team Services, has Visual Studio in it, which makes me think that you're trying to get me to use Windows. You're sneaking it in there. Is that what's happening, Windows tool? Well, for JavaScript and Node developers, a lot of them use Macs and Linux, and environs that are not on Windows. So, how does that work?
It's any language, any platform. You can write.NET and compile and build and release.NET, but you can also do Node, you can also do pretty much any language, Go, Ruby, Python, COBOL.
I build Web apps in COBOL. Do you?
# 5. You can get started with Azure DevOps today by going to, where are we going?
