Another Friday means another happy hour! No, not the time when I hit the bar after work \u2014 the time when I catch up on the news around DevOps for VSTS and Azure. Here’s what I’ve been reading (and, this week, writing!)<\/p>\n
Jekyll with VSTS and Azure<\/a>\nI love GitHub Pages, but sometimes you need a more complex setup, like a proper deployment pipeline with approval gates. I demonstrate my CI\/CD pipeline based around Jekyll \u2014 the app that runs GitHub Pages \u2014 using VSTS to deploy to Azure.<\/p>\n An Interview with Jez Humble on Continuous Delivery, Engineering Culture, and Making Decisions<\/a>\nWhen any of the fine folks at DORA \u2014 DevOps Research and Assessment<\/a> \u2014 talk, I listen. In this interview, Jez Humble gives his thoughts on the state of the art of delivering software.<\/p>\n VSTS Extension \u2013 Tagging all resources within a Resource Group<\/a>\nPeter Rombouts has many ARM templates, and needs to tag all the resources.

So if you need some more advanced package management, like different feeds for pre-release and released packages, Bas Lijten shows you how to use VSTS package management to build custom views for Nuget feeds.<\/p>\n Hard lessons in asynchronous JavaScript code<\/a>\nKnock knock. Who’s Race condition! there? (A little programmer humor makes threading problems easier to deal with.)
