News from TechEd 2014: Upcoming features for Release Management

Some big news for Release Management, hot off the presses from TechEd!

Brian Harry was just talking about DevOps and Release Management, and shared the following tidbits with us:

• Release Management is going to natively support Desired State Configuration, starting with RM Update 3.
• RM Update 3 CTP 1 is coming out in around a week (so, May 19th), with support for DSC.
• RM is going to have the capability to connect to your Azure subscription and deploy to your IaaS virtual machines via Desired State Configuration
• More features to follow in CTP2, CTP3, etc.

Very exciting stuff! Check back here next week, I'll be posting all about Update 3 CTP 1 and these new features. And, if you want to learn more about Desired State Configuration, here are the two blog posts that introduce how it works: DSC 101 - DSC 102.
