This is a brief post because it’s the second time I’ve had to resolve the same issue and as I don’t think my memory is getting any better, it’s probably better this goes down on my permanent record. 😉
Visual Studio
From TeamCity to VSTS – My DevOps Journey – Part 2
In my last post I commenced my journey to integrate our old deployment process with the new shiny VSTS Release Management system. The whole story was about leveraging processes that were already working for us and the flow looked something like this:
The previous step in the process involved getting TeamCity to grab the build output from VSTS and deploy it using our old deployment PowerShell. With this working, my next goal was to be able to trigger the whole process from Release Management so I could either pick the build I wanted to deploy or trigger it from a successful build in VSTS.
I thought, this is going to be mad easy.
Alas, it turned out to be a little more difficult…
From TeamCity to VSTS – My DevOps Journey
My team recently migrated to Visual Studio Team Services and as a result we have a goal to consolidate our deployment processes using the powerful Release Management framework.

Adding a toolbar button to restore window layouts in VS2010

This gives me the largest amount of work space possible for me to write code with as well as having quick access to the solution explorer and property windows.
