Of course, nowadays shipping means having a great pipeline for continuous integration and continuous deployment. That allows you to continuously improve. For a long time now we\u2019ve been working hard to make the DevOps experiences in VSTS best of breed. More recently we\u2019ve also been trying to continuously improve content to help you learn about them.<\/p>\n<p>Every week I talk to customers about their DevOps journeys. Most customers have mastered Agile and Version Control and appreciate the simpler experiences we\u2019re bringing to them. Build Automation and Continuous Integration are much more common than they were. Most teams are starting to invest in some form of monitoring and telemetry so they can see what is really happening in production.\nFor many teams, continuous deployment is that next step in their process maturity to help them get better at DevOps. Therefore, we thought we\u2019d have a push to de-mystify CI\/CD during April to help people \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/SpringIntoDevOps\">Spring Into DevOps<\/a>\u201d (or maybe that should be \u201cFall into DevOps\u201d if you are in the Southern Hemisphere?). We will focus on talking about how to go from continuous integration to continuous deployment. There\u2019ll be several blog posts coming here over the month on this theme, but there are also many special events during the month to help you <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/SpringIntoDevOps\">Spring Into DevOps<\/a>. If you are hosting your own event in your local community, then please get in touch and tweet about it using the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23SpringIntoDevops\">#SpringIntoDevOps<\/a> hashtag.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.visualstudio.com\/learn\/what-is-devops\/\">What is DevOps<\/a>?<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re new to DevOps, or want to explain it to your friends and colleagues, take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visualstudio.com\/learn\/what-is-devops\/\">https:\/\/www.visualstudio.com\/learn\/what-is-devops\/<\/a>.
