Words from our product owner, Ed
Release Management & DevOps has become such an important part of the modern application lifecycle. Simplifying releases to production and dev/test environments is the next step in realizing more frequent & less stressful deliveries. The first step is through deployment automation and the DevOps ALM Rangers project will get you going on starting on the right foot! It pairs nicely with Team Foundation Server 2012 and Visual Studio 2012 and helps you solve common scenarios. You can then take the skills you learn with the DevOps ALM Rangers project and apply them to future investments into Team Foundation Server for release management!
The Team!
This is the team that made this solution a reality, whereby it is important to emphasise that they all invested their personal family time to work on this adventure part-time, after-hours, around the globe … thankyou team!
