This is 5 part blog series, on how to “Cost Optimization for On-demand Private Build Server for SharePoint”. Although I specifically write this for SharePoint’s build server, however the concept and ideas is also applicable for anyone looking for optimizing their cost running private CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) in Visual Studio online. The series in these articles are:
Part 1, Introduction to Visual Studio Online Build and Release Agent Part 2, Cost Analysis and Optimizing Cost Part 3, Step-by-Step Creation Private Build Server for SharePoint Part 4, Azure Automation Service Part 5, Integrates Azure Automation Service in Build Pipeline In Part 4 In Part 4, we are able to schedule the private build server start-up and shutdown time.

Building application firewall for SharePoint site will never been so easy. With Azure App Service we can quickly create public facing application firewall using IIS Application Request Routing and protect SharePoint web site in internal network. In this scenario, you will :
Create Azure App Service to serve as Reverse Proxy Register custom domain in Azure App Service Forward request from public URL to SharePoint internal URL The steps:

Using CI/CD pipeline in Visual Studio Online or Team Foundation Server, we can build and release our code easily to target server. However there is requirement that the target server must be prepared for remote deployment from the Agent server or we must install Agent inside the server. For many organizations, this requirement can be configured easily - however there are some organization that does not allow remote deployment or installation of agent.
Last month, I had to reinstall my laptop because of disk failure. Today, when I try to compile my SPFx (SharePoint Framework) project, I encounter “phyton2” not found exception.
