Today we officially announce Azure DevOps. In collaboration with customers and developers around the world, DevOps is becoming increasingly important to team success. Azure DevOps has more than 15 years of investment and learning experience in providing tools that support software development teams. Over the past one months, more than 80,000 Microsoft internal users and tens of thousands of customers, whether small or large, are using these services to deliver products to you.

The services we announce today cover the entire development lifecycle, helping developers deliver software faster and with high quality. They represent the most complete product in the public cloud. Azure DevOps includes:

Azure Pipelines

CI/CD for any language, platform and cloud. Be able to connect to GitHub or any Git repository and continue to deploy. Learn More >

Azure Boards

Use Kanban, Backlogs, team dashboards and custom reports for powerful work tracking. Learn More >

Azure Artifacts

MAVEN,NPM and NuGet packages from public and private sources. Learn More >

Azure Repos

Each Azure DevOps service is open and extensible. They all apply to any type of application, and you can use any framework, platform or cloud. You can use them as a complete devops solution, or with other services. If you are using Azure pipeline to build and test the node service from a repository in GitHub and deploy it to a container in AWS, there is no problem at all. Azure DevOps supports both public and private cloud configurations. You can run them in our cloud or in your own data center. There is no need to purchase a different license.

Here's an example of building a GitHub repository using Azure pipeline alone:

In addition, this is an example of a developer leveraging the benefits of Azure boards to use all Azure DevOps services:

Open source projects get free CI/CD features via Azure pipeline

We are committed to providing open and flexible tools for all developers, and as an extension, Azure pipelines provides free CI/CD for unlimited and 10 concurrent jobs for each open source project. With cloud-hosted Linux,macos and Windows pools, Azure pipelines is ideal for all types of projects.

Many top-level open source projects are already using azure pipelines as CI/CD, such as Atom,cpython,pipenv,tox,visual Studio code and typescript-this list is growing every day.

We want everyone to have a very high quality of service. As a result, we run open source projects on the same infrastructure we use with paid customers.

Azure pipelines is now also available in GitHub marketplace and can be easily set up for your GitHub repository, open source projects, or other ways.

Here's an introduction to Azure pipeline:

Evolution of Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS)

Azure DevOps represents the evolution of visual Studio Team Services (VSTS). VSTS users will automatically be upgraded to an Azure DevOps project. For existing users, there is no loss of functionality, providing more choice and control. End-to-end traceability and integration as a VSTS flag can still be used. Azure DevOps Services can work well together. Today is the beginning of transformation, and over the next few months, existing users will begin to see changes. What does that mean?

• The URL will be changed from abc.visualstudio.com to DEV.AZURE.COM/ABC. We will support redirection from the visualstudio.com URL, so there is no wrong link.
• As part of this change, the service has an updated user experience. We will continue to iterate through the feedback based on the preview. Starting today we'll enable it for new users by default. In the next few months, we will enable it for existing users by default.
• Users on-premises team Foundation Server (TFS) will continue to receive updates based on real-time features in Azure DevOps. Starting with the next version of TFS, the product will be called Azure DevOps Server and will continue to be improved through our normal update frequency.

Learn how to enable these changes for your existing VSTS organization.
