Sitefinity - TFS CICD – Part 3

Important Notes

• Planning before execution
• Clearly understand each command / argument
• Must confirm input path are correct (no turn back if CD server erase all files)

Strategy

1/ Developer push code to TFS and it will send signal to CI server if it is a watching branch (in our case the branch is develop-int).

2/ CI server will carry on tasks, continue every next task when current task has no error. Finally, it will publish an artifact that is ready for CD server.

3/ CI server will trigger CD to start working and finally deploy the published artifacts if everything go smooth.
