DevOps 100 TechBeacon creates the DevOps 100 list – the top 100 leaders, practitioners and experts in DevOps that you should be following. It’s no surprise that Microsoft employees made an impressive showing on this list: from the VSTS team, Sam Guckenheimer is the man to follow. For the DevOps Cloud Developer Advocates, Donovan Brown and Jessica Deen made the list. But they’re not the only CDAs: Bridget Kromhout, Jessie Frazelle, and Ashley McNamara are recognized for their thought-leadership, and over on the Azure product team, don’t miss Jeffrey Snover, Michelle Noorali, and Caitie McCaffrey.

Safe On-Premises Releases Using VSTS Ilias Jennane tackles the myth that VSTS is just for deploying to Azure. Yes, many people are deploying to the cloud, but some people want to keep their workflows in their own data centers. VSTS can do deployments anywhere – whether it’s Azure, another cloud, or even to your on-premises infrastructure.
