Tomas Jansson presented on how to implement continuous deployment using Octopus Deploy, TeamCity, and PowerShell. The goal is to have an automated deployment process that builds, tests, and deploys code changes from version control to environments multiple times a day. TeamCity is used for continuous integration to build and run tests on code changes. Octopus Deploy provides a dashboard to manage deployments to environments like QA and production. It supports promotion of deployments between environments using a NuGet package. PowerShell scripts are run during the deployment process for tasks like configuration transformations. A demo showed how these tools can be configured to achieve continuous deployment.

5. WHY CONTINUOUS DEPLOYMENT?
Bug impact
Money
Time
Shorter time between releases
 smaller impact
New features faster  you
can save or make money
faster
Automated deploy  more
time for development

6. WHERE SHOULD I START?
Visualize what is needed for you to make a complete deployment
Ex:
Build
Test
(5 min)
(5 min)
Provision
server
(1 hr)
Deploy
(20 min)
Then ask the following question:
•
How often do I do each step during a day/week/month?
My guess is; build, test, deploy and last provision of server
