DevOps is en fuego in the developer community, and for good reason! It helps to deliver the most business value in the fastest way possible. In this session, Sitecore partner Perficient will share its DevOps secrets, using Microsoft Azure and Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) to automate the build-out of Sitecore environments and also automate code and content deployment. You’ll take a deep dive into how to use Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates, PowerShell and VSTS to provision all kinds of Sitecore environments. In addition, you’ll learn how to automate Sitecore installations, move your Sitecore databases into Azure SQL, and much more Sitecore DevOps goodness.

7. Continuous Delivery
“There should be two tasks for a human
being to perform to deploy software into
a development, test, or production
environment: to pick the version and
environment and to press the “deploy”
button.”
― David Farley, Continuous Delivery: Reliable Software Releases
through Build,Test, and DeploymentAutomation
