Achieving Zero Touch Deployment™ in a Microsoft TFS Environment
Hundreds of global companies use Microsoft TFS 2010 as their standard IT collaboration platform.
With a comprehensive end-to-end approach to solution development and functionality for almost all application lifecycle and development needs, TFS 2010 is an ideal solution for teams that need to coordinate their work to develop integrated software solutions.
However, the platform is lacking in one important aspect – the facility to automatically perform complex application deployments. This poses a big problem for IT operations teams desperate to improve their application deployment processes but tied to the TFS environment.
So is it possible to integrate an automatic and continuous, or ‘Zero Touch‘, deployment process into this environment?
In his latest white paper ‘Integrated Release Deployment Automation with Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010‘, application deployment expert Ron Gidron set out to explain not only that it is possible – but how it can be achieved.
Ron explores the integration of Nolio ASAP in TFS 2010 in order to achieve this visionary Zero Touch Deployment™ process. In the white paper, he states that by integrating Nolio with this server, users can achieve:
- Zero Touch Deployments™ (also known as ‘continuous deployments)
- Automated selective/ad-hoc deployments
- Superior traceability & visibility
- A comprehensive back-up or release repository
“Achieving Zero Touch Deployment™ in the Microsoft TFS 2010 environment is made possible by integrating TFS with Nolio. It is possible to eliminate the reliance on engineers to manually perform processes, enabling them to focus on other tasks. Automating the deployment process also ensures visibility and traceability across all application environments, improves quality and reduces downtime”.
