The “Last Mile Problem”
• Developers throw code over the fence. Ops throw it back!
• Agile and Scrum teams should include SharePoint
Admins in the team with multiple releases
CD, IaC & devops
• Continuous Delivery (CD) – deliver solutions faster,
cheaper with less bugs using incremental changes to
users.
• devops = Dev + operations working together to cross the
boundaries and deliver!
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) – Infrastructure described as
code.
CD, IaC & devops
IaC for SharePoint 2013
• PowerShell with xml provides the ability to describe your
full SharePoint 2013 farm.
• VM’s (VMware, HyperV, cloud)
• Networking, load balancers, AD, Golden Image
• Tooling:
1.
2.
3.
Chef/Puppet
TeamCity (here we go)
TFS
Tip: PS + xml over visual tooling
PowerShell, PowerCli, PowerGui & Xml
• Treat Infrastructure like developers treat code – Check-in
to source control (TFS)
• DTAP and 1-click deployment (that will cost you a few
dollars)
• PowerCli, PowerGUI & XML to create VM’s.
• PowerShell Tools for Visual Studio
SQL 2012
• HA – forget clustering and mirroring use AOAG
• SSRS – SharePoint Mode
• IaC on codeplex: SQL FineBuild
• Why I wrote my own SQL IaC modules?
• SQL 2012 checklist
• Logging to TeamCity & locally (provide code for reading
xml & logging)
Tip: SQL Aliases
SQL 2012
AutoSPInstaller
• Customisable repeatable documented install
• Great example of IaC
• Other options?
• Version 3.87 customisations:
SSRS, WCA, Claims, Search, clean-up
Reporting Services (SSRS)
• So easy to setup and automate
• New Service Model
• Licencing?
• Post series and PS examples
Office Web Apps/WCA
• Separate farm
• Easy setup (manual or IaC)
• No database
• Provides (Online Office document access & Search
previews)
• Licencing
• SharePoint, Lync & Exchange
• Takeaway (IaC automation install code)
Tip: Clean VM’s & SSL is encouraged
Code Deployment
• CodePlex: SharePoint PowerShell Automated
