A Practical View of Release Management for Visual Studio 2013

The Discussion

• 

  I just want to thank everyone that took the time to attend. The session was a blast to present. Your participation was great and you even laughed at our jokes. Hope to do it again soon.

  does anyone have experience managing a large number of release management projects (100+)? whenever I play with the software it never gives me the impression that i would be able to setup a new project anywhere as easily as a standard msdeploy

  We have customers with numbers of Release Templates in that range. Release templates are created for defining how your app gets deployed to the various stages. In the security tab of the Release Template you can define which teams cam see Release Template (and their related releases) to allow for a better experience when having multiple apps.

  @Claude and they don't have issues managing that number of release templates? it just feels odd that I can't easily reuse or mass update them. If I want to update all my releases to add a new step I need to update all 100+ however many stages there are.
