E-book: Sharing Our Journey To Cloud Cadence<\/h2>\n

Developing Visual Studio Online over the last few years from its Team Foundation Server roots has meant transitioning from a \u201cbox\u201d product mindset to one of continuous delivery to the public cloud. In his new e-book entitled Our Journey to Cloud Cadence, Lessons Learned at Microsoft Developer Division<\/a>, Microsoft\u2019s Sam Guckenheimer charts the path to the cloud and outlines several of the key lessons uncovered during our journey. This book covers DevOps<\/a> engineering practices and essential tools including ways to implement the culture shift necessary for this kind of transformation. It aims to provide insights to practitioners of all level from DevOps veterans to folks new to cloud model, and for\u00a0 which our findings can be applied regardless of the toolset in use or the size of the organization. Sam will cover these in more detail in his break-out session tomorrow.\u00a0 (Editor\u2019s note: For more information about the Microsoft DevOp\u2019s features make sure and check out our new DevOps features page:\u00a0 https:\/\/www.visualstudio.com\/features\/devops-vs<\/a> )<\/p>\n

Microsoft\u2019s DevOps Solution: Application Insights<\/h2>\n

One area of DevOps that often offers app developers a short road to value and return on their implementation investment is Application Performance Monitoring (\u201cAPM\u201d). Microsoft\u2019s Application Insights<\/a>, currently available in preview, offers a smooth on-ramp to robust, scalable, cloud-powered application performance monitoring. With just a couple clicks and a few lines of code, developers of iOS, Android, Windows, and server-side apps can immediately have rich telemetry dashboards\u00a0 about their app availability, performance, crash data and exceptions, adoption and usage patterns at their fingertips. Additionally, Application Insights (as powered by Azure) performance monitoring scales as your application scales. To read more about Application Insights, check out this blog post announcing application insights preview<\/a>. Application Insights remains free for the vast majority of users, so we encourage you to give it a try. We\u2019d love to hear your feedback and suggestions via Connect<\/a>, UserVoice<\/a>, and the Application Insights Forum<\/a> (or you could leave a comment below).<\/p>\n

(Editor\u2019s Note:\u00a0 The Application Insights team also just released their pricing information. Check it out at: http:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/blog\/2015\/05\/27\/application-insights-pricing-effective-june-1\/<\/a> )<\/p>\n
