Azure DevOps Consulting Services
Years of using self-made tools and the dire need to develop a process that can help build and deliver products faster led to the advent of Microsoft’s Azure DevOps.
Bringing about a change in the development lifecycle, Microsoft’s widely-known flagship integrated development environment ‘Visual Studio Team Service (VSTS)’ became ‘Azure DevOps.’
Azure DevOps “spans the breadth of the development lifecycle to help developers ship software faster and with higher quality,” says Microsoft.
Supporting both public and private cloud configurations, Azure DevOps service gained popularity for its ability to extend beyond and be compatible with applications of any type, irrespective of the framework, platform, or cloud.
Changing the work style, Azure DevOps has introduced new ways to plan brighter with enhanced collaboration and achieve faster product delivery backed by modern DevOps development services.
Key Features that Azure offers include:
- Azure Boards: Use proven agile tools to effectively plan, track, and discuss work among teams and deliver high value to your customers. Use proven productivity tools to create and track sprints, backlogs, team dashboards, custom reporting, and more.
- Azure Pipelines: Develop, test, and deploy CI/CD workflows compatible with any language, platform, and cloud. Automating builds and deployments with pipelines can save time, giving scope for innovation.
- Azure Repos: Enjoy access to the world’s largest repository. With Azure Repos, one can get unlimited, cloud-hosted private Git repositories. One can also form collaborations to build better code through pull requests and advanced file management mechanisms.
- Azure Test Plans: Use manual and exploratory testing tools to test and proceed further. Planned and exploratory activities can improve app code quality.
- Azure Artifacts: Integrate fully integrated package management with CI/CD pipelines at a click. Witness the flexibility of creating, hosting, and sharing packages from public and private sources with your teams.
Notably, Azure Pipelines can offer free CI/CDs for an unlimited period and ten parallel jobs for every open-source project.
As a whole, Azure DevOps is a collection that offers an end-to-end solution to five core DevOps practices: Planning and tracking, development, build and testing, delivery and monitoring, and operations.
Launched in 2018, Microsoft Azure DevOps has garnered many service providers within a short release span. With solid expertise in DevOps consulting and proven excellence in Azure Cloud, we could be your best option as an Azure DevOps Consulting partner.
