Questions tagged [ms-release-management]

Microsoft Release Management is a tool that allows you to automate the release and deployment cycle of software. It is part of Visual Studio / Team Foundation Server 2013 and beyond.

Microsoft Release Management was originally a tool called InRelease, created by InCycle Software. Microsoft acquired the tool in mid-2013 and integrated it into Visual Studio / Team Foundation Server 2013.

The software consists of three components:

  1. A server
  2. A client
  3. A deployer agent

Using the client, you connect to your release management server and configure what applications you're deploying, how they should be deployed, and what servers they should be deployed to. In addition, you can specify who within your organization is responsible for approving each stage of your release.

This application has been deprecated as of 2015. It is no longer receiving new features or updates, and has been entirely replaced by Azure Pipelines.
