Announced at Connect() today were a couple of new tools that could really help a team with their DevOps issues when working with VSTS and Azure (and potentially other scenarios too).

  • DevTest Lab is a new set of tooling within the Azure portal that allows the easy management of Test VMs, their creation and management as well as providing a means to control how many VMs team members can create, thus controlling cost.

  • To aid general deployment, have a look that new Release tooling now in public preview. This is based on the same agents as the vNext build system and can provide a great way to formalise your deployment process. Have a looks at Vijay’s post on getting started with the new Release tools
