>> I don't have much hair up there--Golnaz.
If you're super anxious and the rabbit
bites the tip of your finger off,
then you're not anxious anymore.
That's how therapy animals work.
>> Give me this.
>> No!
>> Give it to, you'll eat it.
>> Don't eat it though, just save it.
>> Hi, I'm Burke Holland.
>> I'm Damian Brady.
>> This is Five Things about Azure DevOps.
>> That's right.
>> We're here at Microsoft Build 2018
and it doesn't look like we are.
It looks like we're at a petting zoo.
But we are actually at
the conference and we've got these,
easy! What's this one's name?
>> Alfie.
>> Settle down, Alfie.
We've got rabbits and, uh, Little Sebastian, ponies,
that dog's passed out over there.
Anyway, we're in the
therapy area over here which is awesome.
This is provided by Animals as Natural Therapy,
a great organization that works with veterans
and other underprivileged kids in foster care,
people that struggle with a lot of anxiety like myself.
Working with these animals helps a lot with that.
So, I, personally I'm glad these horses are here
because I can see how awkward it is making you feel.
Also, I've heard that rabbits will bite you, so.
>> I've heard that too. No, I have, see the laptop.
>> Thing number one, what is Azure DevOps, Damian?
>> Is that an Australian accent?
>> Yes.
>> It's really, really bad.
>> Would you like a bumper sticker for
your Subaru Outback?
Crocodile Dundee.
Going to quit the band again, Brit. Okay.
>> That's New Zealand.
>> Same thing. Thing number one.
What is Azure DevOps?
>> Azure DevOps is the new product name
for Visual Studio Team Services
which is Microsoft's DevOps product.
>> I was about to say, "That doesn't help me much."
>> Yeah. It's Microsoft's DevOps product
and DevOps lifecycle
from Source Control and Work Item planning,
all the way through to your Builds and Releases,
and monitoring what's happening in
production and everything about your application.
>> So, for those who don't know what DevOPs is,
would it be accurate to say that it's
a tool for pulling in,
code building, running all your tests, deploying?
Do I have all that right, or I'm
misunderstanding how DevOps works?
>> Well, DevOps itself is not really a tool.
So, Microsoft's definition of DevOps
is the union of people,
process and products, [inaudible].
>> You lost me at the union of people.
Everything after that, I wasn't even listening.
>> People, process, products.
>> Okay. That I can do.
>> Yeap, and delivering continuous value.
>> Now, see, you just added something else at the end.
>> Used more words. So, it's
about delivering value to the people
using your software by
ultimately making that process better
of getting the right things into
production and making sure
that the right things went in production.
>> Can't you just right click "Deploy"?
>> No. You cannot do that.
>> Why not?
>> Because that's-
>> That's how I do it.
>> Yeah, I know.
>> I deploy all my stuff that way.
I'm doing it wrong, apparently.
>> It's wrong.
>> Nicole Kidman.
>> No. That's- no.
>> Hugh Jackman. That's your therapy horse back there.
>> That's my therapy?
>> Here's 5,000 candles.
Thing number two, what is it that
Azure DevOps actually does?
>> Well, it is the product that
streamlines all of the stuff you need to do for DevOps.
It'll hold your Source Control,
it tracks your items,
your work items, the things you're going to do,
it does your Builds, it does your Releases,
and it helps you monitor what's going
on in production with your application.
>> What if I go to somewhere else though,
it's in GitHub or I've got
a different Source Control provider?
>> Yeah. You can plug in GitHub,
you can grab your source code from pretty much anywhere.
>> So, it'll read, it will pull in your code
from pretty much any repository?
>> Yeah. It can even talk to
other deployment processes and
other tools that you might already use.
So, you don't have to use all of it,
but it's all there for you.
>> What about Visual SourceSafe?
>> You can maybe use that, if you want.
>> Visual SourceSafe, #NeverForget.
That horse is rubbing your back.
>> Does this mean I'm misbehaving?
>> He knows that you're anxious, Damian.
He's trying to settle you down. Good job.
>> Thing number three. I don't
get paid a lot to do this show.
So, how much is this going to cost me.
>> So, it's free.
>> Free?
>> It is free.
>> Well, what's the catch?
>> Well, it's up to five users. It's free.
But if you have a Visual Studio Enterprise subscription,
which a lot of companies do,
then that doesn't count towards that,
and you have a limited number of
Build minutes, with a host of Builds.
>> So, is it included in the Enterprise subscription?
>> It's included in the Enterprise subscription.
>> So, anybody that already
has the Enterprise subscription
already has access to this tool?
>> They do.
>> Nice. But not me,
I don't have an enterprise.
>> You work for Microsoft, you have everything.
>> No. They don't give me anything except for
these three ponies and that rabbit that almost bit
my finger. Thing number four.
Azure DevOps, formerly known
as Visual Studio Team Services,
has Visual Studio in it,
which makes me think that you're trying
to get me to use Windows.
You're sneaking it in there.
Is that what's happening, Windows tool?
Well, for JavaScript and Node developers,
a lot of them use Macs and Linux,
and environs that are not on
Windows. So, how does that work?
>> So, it's any language, any platform.
So, you can write.NET and compile
and build and release.NET, but you can also do Node,
you can also do pretty much
any language, Go, Ruby, Python-
>> COBOL.
>> JavaScript, COBOL.
Yeah. You could. You could totally do COBOL.
>> I build Web apps in COBOL.
>> Do you?
>> Is that even possible? I don't know. I have no idea.
>> You can do it.
>> Well, I'm going to do it right after this.
>> Yes.
>> Thing number five. You can get started with
Azure DevOps today by going to,
where are we going?
>> dev.azure.com.
Get started today for free.
>> For free.
>> I'm Burke Hollands.
>> I'm Damian Brady.
>> Now, you know Five Things about Azure DevOps.
>> Such a bad accent. I'm done.
>> It's great.
