What is Azure DevOps?

Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2019 | TFS 2018 | TFS 2017 | TFS
2015 | TFS 2013

Azure DevOps provides developer services to support teams to plan work, collaborate
on code development, and build and deploy applications. Developers can work in the
cloud using Azure DevOps Services or on-premises using Azure DevOps Server. Azure
DevOps Server was formerly named Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS).

Azure DevOps provides integrated features that you can access through your web
browser or IDE client. You can use one or more of the following services based on your
business needs:

 Azure Repos provides Git repositories or Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC)
for source control of your code
 Azure Pipelines provides build and release services to support continuous
integration and delivery of your apps
 Azure Boards delivers a suite of Agile tools to support planning and tracking
work, code defects, and issues using Kanban and Scrum methods
 Azure Test Plans provides several tools to test your apps, including
manual/exploratory testing and continuous testing
 Azure Artifacts allows teams to share Maven, npm, and NuGet packages from
public and private sources and integrate package sharing into your CI/CD pipelines

You can also use collaboration tools such as:

 Customizable team dashboards with configurable widgets to share information,


progress, and trends
 Built-in wikis for sharing information
 Configurable notifications

Azure DevOps supports adding extensions and integrating with other popular services,
such as: Campfire, Slack, Trello, UserVoice, and more, and developing your own custom
extensions.

For information on the differences between the cloud versus on-premises platforms,
see Azure DevOps Services and Azure DevOps Server.
Microsoft renamed Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) to Azure DevOps Services. For
more information about this change, see Introducing Azure DevOps.

Team Foundation Server became Azure DevOps Server 2019.

Many of the featured services in VSTS are now offered as standalone services in both
Azure DevOps Services and Azure DevOps Server 2019. You can get services separately
or all together as Azure DevOps Services. If you're an Azure DevOps subscriber, you
have access to all of the services already.

Both Azure DevOps Services and Azure DevOps Server 2019 use the new navigation user
interface, with a vertical sidebar to navigate to the main service
areas: Boards, Repos, Pipelines, and more. To learn more, see Web portal navigation in
Azure DevOps.

Note

You can disable select services from the user interface. For more information, see Turn a
service on or off.

You can still use visualstudio.com to access Azure DevOps Services. We've moved to the
new dev.azure.com domain name as the primary URL for new organizations. That URL
is https://dev.azure.com/{your organization}/{your project}. If you want to change your
URL to be based on dev.azure.com as the primary, an organization administrator can do
so from the organization settings page.
