PowerShell+ 2019 - Better Ops Together: Practical PowerShell Pair Programming... by Mark Kraus

Better Ops Together: Practical PowerShell Pair Programming Patterns and Practices with VS Code by Mark Kraus As the world of Development and Operations continue to merge, those of us in traditional Operation roles find ourselves looking over the fence at our Developer counterparts to learn their patterns and practices. One developer practice that we should all start taking seriously is Pair Programming. In Pair Programming two colleagues collaborate simultaneously on the same code. But how does that work with limited resources? What technologies can you use for geographically separated teams? Why would you even consider Pair Programming for Ops work? This session will answer these questions by demonstrating how a real-world IT Operations team at LinkedIn leverages Pair Programming Patterns and Practices to build their PowerShell CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure automation. See how Pair Programming can be used to improve code quality, decrease future refactoring needs, and raise a team’s PowerShell skills. PowerShell Summit videos are recorded on a “best effort“ basis. We use a room mic to capture as much room audio as possible, with an emphasis on capturing the speaker. Our recordings are made in a way that minimizes overhead for our speakers and interruptions to our live audience. These recordings are meant to preserve the presentations’ information for posterity, and are not intended to be a substitute for attending the Summit in person. These recordings are not intended as professional video training products. We hope you find these videos useful - the equipment used to record these was purchased using generous donations from members of the PowerShell community.
