The document discusses setting up continuous deployment with TeamCity, Octopus Deploy, and PowerShell. TeamCity is used for continuous integration and Octopus Deploy is used to automate deployments. Octopus Deploy allows defining environments, roles, projects, and releases to deploy applications. PowerShell scripts can be used in Octopus Deploy to automate tasks like configuration, deployment, and cleanup. The overall goal is to have a fully automated continuous deployment process from building to testing to deploying applications.

10. WHAT I WANT YOU TO EXPERIENCE TODAY
Some tips and tricks for Teamcity
Experience Octopusdeploy
Get to appreciate PowerShell

12. WHY CONTINUOUS DEPLOYMENT?
Bug impact
Features
Time
Shorter time between releases
 smaller impact
New features faster 
happier customers and
improved learning
Automated deploy  more
time for development and
happier developers

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

15. WHAT CAN I DO?
Build
Test
Deploy
Smaller solutions
Minimize DB-test/test setup
Clear artifacts
Decouple projects
Minimize network traffic
Automated deploy
Optimize code
Repetitive
Parallel testing

16. Repetitive

Goal

22. OCTOPUS DEPLOY
Automated deployment for .NET (Windows)
•
Created by Paul Stovell (@paulstovell)
•
Targeting .NET
•
Currently in v 2.0 public beta

23. NUGET & OCTOPUS DEPLOY

24. NUGET & OCTOPUS DEPLOY
Pull deploy
from v 2.0!

25. Octopus deploy is eating
their own dog food since
v 2.0.
Web application is using
the public REST API.

26. OCTOPUS DEPLOY PROCESS
•
•
Pre
deploy
•
Run transformations of
config files
•
Octopus does IIS setup
Check environment
•
Configure environment
•
Copy files needed for deploy
•
PostDeploy.ps1
•
Delete files
•
Clean up
Deploy.ps1
•
PreDeploy.ps1
PowerShell is
the key to
great success!

Post
deploy

27. OCTOPUS CONCEPTS
Environments
Roles
An environment contains one or many machines
Defines where to deploy
Adding a machine is done in one place instead of
in every project
Multiple machines can have the same role in one
environment  deploy to multiple machines at
once

28. OCTOPUS CONCEPTS
Project groups
Project
A collection of projects
Definition of what to deploy
Map environment to project groups
One project can multiple deploy steps
Great if you have multiple customers
A step can:
•
Deploy a NuGet package
•
Run a PowerShell script
•
Send an email
•
Require manual intervention
•
Deploy to Windows Azure
•
Upload files by FTP
Variables can be configured per environment,
role, machine and/or step

29. OCTOPUS CONCEPTS
Release package
Deploy
A definition of a release
An actual deploy of a release
Has a version number
Contains specific packages (version can differ
from release version)

30. PowerShell

31. GETTINGS STARTED WITH PROGRAMMING IIS IN POWERSHELL
> Import-Module WebAdministration
> $iisAppPoolsPath = "IIS:AppPoolsMyAppPool"
> New-Item $iisAppPoolsPath
Name
---MyAppPool
State
----Started
Applications
------------
> $iisSitesPath = "IIS:SitesMySite"
> New-Item $iisSitesPath -bindings @{protocol="http";bindingInformation="*:8321:*"}
-physicalPath "c:tmp"
Name
---MySite
ID
-5
State
----Stopped
Physical Path
------------c:tmp
