What You Need to Know about Microsoft Azure DevOps

Microsoft continues to thrust to make development tools for every workflow. Microsoft has announced the rebranding of Visual Studio Team Service (VSTS) to Azure DevOps. VSTS, an extension of Visual Studio which is an integrated development environment from Microsoft - enabled architects, developers, and testers to collaboratively design, develop and test software. Instead of a single Visual Studio-branded service, it is being split into five separate Azure-branded services called Azure DevOps. If you already in VSTS it will not affect your account. You can still access your projects and you can also access it.

What is part of Azure DevOps?

Whether it is public, private or hybrid cloud the strategy will require a significant effort and investment in application development and modernization. The fundamental thing is to have a software engineering platform that brings people, processes and technology together that helps to automate software delivery and provide continuous value to users.
