Agility

Source: McKinsey Global Survey Results, “Putting Strategy to the Test”

❝No-regret moves that will pay off whatever happens, and real options that involve relatively low costs now but can be elevated to a higher level of commitment as conditions change.❞

Agility is the #1 element of corporate strategy today!

Cloud dev and test

Increase agility Improve quality Integrated and familiarTake advantage of the only cloud designed for developers first, and built from the ground-up to integrate seamlessly with Visual Studio and Visual Studio Online services.

Deliver higher quality releases by testing your applications in a “production-like” environment to understand how they will handle real world usage scenarios.

Provision the exact compute, storage, and network resources that you need to develop and test your applications, on your timeline and on your terms.

Summary: Microsoft Azure for dev and test

Infrastructure-as-a-ServiceVirtual Machines, Virtual Networking, SQL Database, Storage, and more.

Infrastructure services allow development teams to lift and shift all development workloads (team member desktop, dev/test systems, team collaboration workloads) to the cloud. By using VMs and virtual networking, any level of infrastructure complexity can be realized. Cloud scale and cloud economics drive down cost and reduce time and effort to set up dev/test infrastructure.

Platform-as-a-ServiceAzure Web Sites, Cloud Services, SQL Database, Storage, Mobile Services, and more.

Application building blocks and cloud services allow developers to quickly implement application features without building from scratch. By assembling cloud services, developers can speed up creation and delivery of custom applications and increase efficiency. Cloud services allow for quick and easy provisioning of development, test and production environments for web applications and back-end services from within Visual Studio.

Visual Studio Online—cloud services for developersAgile project management, testing, load testing, build, app insights, and more.

Innovative new cloud services for developers enable teams to scale quickly and easily by extending hardware-intensive ALM workloads to the cloud and enable new scenarios that are not possible with physical infrastructure. Visual Studio Online offers a complete set of developer services, accessible from anywhere—anytime.
