Top Stories from the Microsoft DevOps Community – 2019.03.01
I don't know why but it seems like some weeks are just busier than others for everybody. And y'all have obviously been busy, because this week I got so many notifications about Agile, DevOps, GitHub and Azure DevOps articles in my inbox that it was hard to keep up. (But don't worry, the ones that I didn't have a chance to read this week are still queued up for me to read next week!) How I alert(1) in Azure DevOps A few months ago we announced our bounty program for security issues in Azure DevOps. One researcher jumped on that opportunity to dig in, and wrote up the details of how they found a cross-site scripti...

Here in England, we've got some lovely spring-like weather coming for the weekend. I can't wait to put the computer away, get the grill out and enjoy the sunshine. But before I unplug, I wanted to share with you some of the great articles that I found this week around DevOps. Archie: Easy cross-compilation for busy developers It's not much of a secret that I want more builds on more platforms for my software because I want as much validation as I can get for every pull request and every change. I don't know, but I suspect that Jay Rodgers shares this thinking, because he's busy making cross-compilation easier fo...
Cross-Platform Container Builds with Azure Pipelines
This is a follow-up to Matt Cooper's earlier blog post, "Using containerized services in your pipeline". If you haven't yet, I encourage you to read that post to understand the new `container` syntax in the pipeline definition. As a program manager for Azure DevOps, I spend a lot of time speaking with customers about their DevOps practices. In a recent meeting, a development team was excited about Azure Pipelines and our Linux build agents that we manage in Azure, but they needed to build their application on CentOS instead of Ubuntu. Like text editors, whitespace and the careful placement of curly ...
Create a CI/CD pipeline for your Azure IoT Edge solution with Azure Pipelines
Modern software moves quickly and demands more from developers than ever. New CI/CD tools can help developers deliver value faster and more transparently, but the need for customized scripts that address different kinds of edge solutions still presents a challenge for some CI/CD pipelines. Now, with the Azure IoT Edge task in Azure Pipelines, developers have an easier way to build and push the modules in different platforms and deliver to a set of Azure IoT Edge devices continuously in the cloud. Azure IoT Edge is a fully managed service that delivers cloud intelligence locally by deploying and running AI, Azur...

I hope you had another great week - I certainly did! I had the good fortune to spend time building out some fun container-based Azure Pipelines builds for open source projects. Expect a blog post on that soon! In the meantime, here's some other great blog posts that I found this week. Using Azure DevOps Pipelines to Deploy Azure Functions written in Java Ten years ago, I came to Microsoft as a former Unix sysadmin who built Java tools on a Mac. That was strange then, but a decade later, we're all about any language on any platform. Mani Bindra has a great post about using Azure Pipelines to deploy Azure Function...
