With msbui ld and msdeploy
Continuous DeploymentDeliv

Abstract
If you are deploying your software manually, you are doing it wrong.
If you deploying once a month, you are doing it wrong.
If you as a developer are deploying from Visual Studio by clicking "Publish", you are doing it wrong.
If a bug-fix takes you 1 hour but your customer needs to wait a week until he gets it, you are doing it wrong.
Manual deployments are NOT fun.
There is a nice way on how to automate the deployment with TFS 2010, msbuild and msdeploy.

Continous Deployment
Deploy continously...
After each change...
To a certain env...
Continous Delivery
Be production ready...

Deployments late in the development process
cause stress on the "deployment day"
Hard!
1. Configuration
2. Existing data
3. Updates
4. Starting/Stop
5. External dependencies
Manual != fun

Fail fast and early in the development process

On the "Go Live Day" you realize: Production hardware is missing an important feature
Release small increments

Deploying often, less number of defects

Deploy early
Deployment is never easy, so try to deploy as soon as possible to remove all roadblocks
http://twitter.com/#!/DEVOPS_BORAT/status/61213294949707776
Have a rollback plan
Have a Dashboard
• Latest Builds?• Environment, version?• Everything healthy?
Have a guinea pig
AB testing
Have a clone of your production environment
Have everything under source control
Have everything under source control
Deployment artefacts
1. .bat
2. .ps
Log failed and successful builds
Only let the PO deploy to Production
