The document discusses different approaches to continuous delivery of applications to Azure, including using infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and containers. It provides examples of architectures that deploy applications to Azure virtual machines, Azure App Services, and Azure Container Service. The key benefits highlighted are self-service provisioning, integration with continuous integration/delivery (CI/CD) pipelines in Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS), and configuration as code using tools like PowerShell DSC and ARM templates.

1. Continuous Delivery to Azure using
VSTS

2. Our processes for software
development lets you as a development
manager, IT manager or business
developer focus on the right things.
The result is more software releases
with better quality, faster and at a lower
cost.

discipline where you build software in such a way
that the software can be released to production at
any time”
