As you may know, this week is the \/\/Build conference<\/a>.\u00a0 Along side that event, we are announcing a ton of VS Team Services enhancements, including rolling out our sprint 117 upgrade.\u00a0 Some of the changes are available immediately (because they were previously deployed and only required a feature flag to be flipped) and others will roll out over the next week or so as the 117 deployment reaches all of our scale units across the world.<\/p>\n

You can read all the details in our Team Services release notes<\/a>.\u00a0 The first thing you are likely to notice is WOW, that’s a lot of stuff.<\/p>\n

I want to highlight a few things that I think are particularly important.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We are striving to build the best deployment automation\/release orchestration solution on the planet.\u00a0 We are focusing broadly on all kinds of app, using any technology and running on any platform, but we are focusing particularly strongly on deployment to Azure.\u00a0 In this update, you will find a long list of improvements that significantly expand the breadth of apps supported and the quality of experience.\u00a0 The new agent based deployment support, for instance, is a game changer for deploying multi-VM, multi-platform applications.\u00a0 Significant improvements in our Docker support are also a big deal.<\/li>\n
  2. You may have seen the new Delivery Plans feature that provides cross team roll up of work progress and plans.\u00a0 We had been a bit cagey on what the ultimate release vehicle for that would be.\u00a0 I’m very happy to announce that we’ve decided to include that in every Team Services “Basic” license so it’s available to all Team Services subscribers.<\/li>\n
  3. You’ll also find a very long list of enhancements to our Pull Request experience.\u00a0 As adoption grows, we keep aggressively taking feedback and making it better and better.\u00a0 Pretty soon, we’ll have just about everyone at Microsoft, for instance, using it as part of their daily workflow.<\/li>\n
  4. You’ll notice a number of places in the release notes where we expand our support for Java, Linux and other non-traditionally Microsoft developers.\u00a0 I particularly want to point out support for Maven packages.\u00a0 This is a big step forward.\u00a0 We now support Nuget, NPM and Maven package protocols, increasing the breadth of the Team Services package management solution.\u00a0 You can read more about it in our Maven blog post<\/a>.\u00a0 We are continuing to invest in package management and will continue to grow the capabilities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Read the release notes for all the details.<\/p>\n

    I hope you like all the new capabilities.\u00a0 I look forward to hearing any feedback you have.<\/p>\n
