//build is an annual developer conference from Microsoft where a lot of awesome developer focused announcements would happen. This year’s event took place between May 7th and 9th of 2018. As a part of BDotNet community events, we had organized a recap event on August 4, 2018 to talk about some of the latest announcements. Below is the agenda from the event.
I chose the topic on “CI/CD and AKS with VSTS“. The topic encompasses a broad spectrum in itself. Below are the high level items I covered as a part of this session.
- Introduction to Docker Containers
- Dockerizing ASP.NET Core web application

- Introduction to AKS – Azure Kubernetes Service
- Demo of Creating AKS from Azure Portal
- Setting up Build pipelines from VSTS
- Build & Push images to DockerHub
- Setting up Release pipelines from VSTS

It was a more of demo focused and Zero PPT based session. Below are links for the resources used in the session
