Azure DevOps is a cloud platform that offers end-to-end support for organizing work on software development projects regardless of the framework, platform, and cloud they use. It comes as a suite of 5 distinct services: Azure Boards (planning and tracking work), Azure Repos (Git/TFVC repos), Azure Pipelines (fully fledged CI/CD platform), Azure Test Plans (manual and exploratory testing), and Azure Artifacts (package management). You can leverage these services together as an integrated DevOps solution or choose just the ones you need to complement existing tools in your own DevOps workflows.

In this session we will explain why Azure DevOps represents the next stage in the evolution of Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) and how it works great for any type of application (web/mobile/desktop), any platform (Windows/Linux/MacOS) and any cloud (Azure/AWS/GCP). Through a number of examples we will walk you through smart agile planning tools, efficient collaboration workflows based on pull requests, and modern automated CI/CD pipelines with approvals and release gates. We will explain how Azure DevOps integrates with other services like Slack, Trello, or SonarCloud. Azure Pipelines will take the central part in our presentation because of their native integration with GitHub, free unlimited build minutes for open source public projects with up to 10 free parallel jobs across Windows, Linux and Mac, and native support for Containers and Kubernetes.
