Streamline App Deployment with Virtualization

December 1, 2023
Microsoft App-V allows you to deploy and run applications on Windows systems without installing them locally.

Microsoft App-V is an application virtualization solution that enables organizations to deploy applications to users without installing them directly on their computers. This is done by packaging the application into a virtual container that includes all of the application's files and dependencies. When a user launches the application, it is streamed from a central server to the user's computer. It reduces the time and effort required to deploy applications, avoids conflict between applications on the end user's machine, provides a centralized management console and improves security by keeping apps separate from each other.

Several Installation Tools support Microsoft App-V including:

  • Advanced Installer Architect by Caphyon seamlessly integrates with Microsoft App-V, enabling efficient packaging and deployment of virtualized applications.
  • InstallShield Premier by Revenera provides comprehensive support for Microsoft App-V, including packaging, deployment, and management.
  • AdminStudio Enterprise by Flexera effectively manages Microsoft App-V environments, simplifying deployment and optimization.

Simplify Build Configuration with Matrix Builds

November 30, 2023
TeamCity 2023.11 streamlines cross-configuration testing by dynamically generating separate builds with varying configuration parameters.

TeamCity is a versatile CI/CD tool that empowers teams to implement seamless continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment within their DevOps workflows.

TeamCity Version 2023.11 introduces Matrix Builds, a dynamic build system that generates separate builds based on varying configuration parameters. Each unique parameter combination triggers a distinct build configuration, forming a matrix of individual builds that run independently.

Matrix Builds are particularly advantageous for testing software across diverse configurations, such as operating systems or browser versions. By defining a matrix of build configurations, you can execute the same test suite across multiple parameter combinations within a single build configuration, streamlining the review process and facilitating the resolution of compatibility issues.

To see a full list of what's new in version 2023.11, see our release notes.
