Editor's Notes
- There has been a lot of cool stuff mentioned on NSBCon so far. But how do make sure you actually get to use it. Ie avoiding =>
- Show of hand, who’s on v2.X? V2.X migrate to v3.3.8 you’re covered from then on 3.3.0 was released Monday, October 29 2012 =>2 y This talk is about what we do now and plan to do in order to help you keep updated while keeping the risk low
- Its not only the big and cool features you heard of so far We’re upping our game in terms of CD “Reliable software releases through Build, Test and Deployment Automation” Provide value faster Will also give feedback faster Provide hotfixes, god forbid, more timely
- 2014, 41 so far => on target for 80 + this year as well We are releasing more , 2 release per week on average Monthly cadence for minor releases This is all fine and dandy but it might inflict…
- We don’t want our release schedule to cause customers falling to far behind Warstory - Swedish government agencies The consultants are now long gone, so is the CD-disk where they put the source code Leads to big bang upgrades
- Big bang releases are risky And risk equals cost But lego is cool, this is the big bang we want to avoid
- Big Bang (Korean: 빅뱅; often stylized as BIGBANG) is a South Korean boy band formed by YG Entertainment. Leader G-Dragon, T.O.P, Taeyang, Daesung, and Seungri officially debuted as a five-member group on August 19, 2006. After listening to their music, this is the big bang you want to avoid Big risk The risk is compounded Leads to a Coorporate decision Force CXO signoff Drives costs Solution: Upgrading one endpoint at a time
- Needed since we push users to build systems made of many autonomous endpoints Allows for updating endpoint by endpoint leading to mixed environments =>
- Allows you to evolve at your own pace New projects should default to latest NSB This is what you have to do: Message contacts , they should use unobtrusive
- We tackle it with TC + AWS + Azure Significant cost But we couldn’t afford it without the cloud
- This has been a long journey during the last few years, this is what we’ve learned
- War story on how we released in 2011 Refer back to Ud’s statement about the Download now button Things are different now, nuget, chocolatey, visual studio gallery etc
- Automate all the things To make sure quality isn’t degrading To not rely on humans remembering To avoid depending on individuals How to get there Document the steps That is your list of potential automation
- Choose the best tool for the job: github , tc, trello, hipchat, hubot Use tools that can be composed and extended But sometimes there is no tool How gitversion has lead us to focus more on if it’s a hotfix or not and care less about version numbers
- GV assigns a SEMVER according to the git repo Needed since we have so many repos now Has lead us to focus more on if it’s a hotfix or not and care less about version numbers
- The netscape (back in the days) core value Holds true today
