MS TechEd 2013 Talk: Continuous Integration with Team Foundation Services and Windows Azure Websites

Wednesday, June 26, 2013 by Rainer Stropek

At Microsoft TechEd 2013 I do a session about Continuous Integration with Team Foundation Services and Windows Azure Websites. In this blog article you find the source code and a video of the sample. The sample covers the following topics:

  • Brief introduction into Windows Azure Websites (WAWS) and Team Foundation Services (TFServices)
  • "CI Hello World": How to setup continuous integration with WAWS and TFServices
  • Implementing a custom build activity and making it available in TFServices
  • Customizing the build workflow for TFServices
Note that my colleague Phil Aumayr has summarized the workflow you need to follow to create custom build activities for the build process in TFServices in a separate blog article. Maybe you want to take a look at it.
