This document discusses how cloud computing and DevOps practices like continuous integration/delivery can reshape application lifecycle management. It promotes using cloud services for infrastructure provisioning, development, and testing to improve speed, flexibility, and quality. Microsoft Azure is presented as a platform that can enable these practices through services like virtual machines, automated infrastructure configuration, and release management/monitoring tools integrated with Visual Studio.

- 12. Infrastructure as Code PowerShell DSC Build templates to manage configurations. Integrate templates with Release Management to automate configuration of on-premises and cloud environments. Parameters allow reuse of templates. Server configuration is managed through templates. Parameters make the template re-usable.
- 14. “Deploy the same code every time, everywhere, in the same way” Release Management Increase delivery cadence Increase predictability and consistency when deploying Reduce complexity when deploying to hybrid environments Release planning Automated environment management Release automation workflow

- 18. Define Release Plans and Templates Define groups that can create, edit and view release templates. Define required approvals for each release stage. Define stage types for a given environment. Granular control for the entire release process Seamless integration with Visual Studio Build process
- 19. Define a release workflow and activities for each of your applications. Use built-in actions for deployment or create your own w/ PowerShell. Use built-in actions or define your own Define release workflow and activities per environment Define Release Plans and Templates
- 20. Flexible Release Approval Workflow A simple way to request and provide approvals. The approver can start, stop, approve, reject, restart, retry, abandon or reassign releases. Simple way to request and provide approvals Trigger actions based on approvals
- 21. Release Visibility and Transparency View release pipeline, status and issues. Monitor the progress of each release. Check the status of your releases Identify issues and patterns in your application deployment
