DevOps on Azure

Azure DevOps just made Git policy automation way faster. refName=~all on the inheritance‑aware API now returns every policy (push + branch, direct + inherited) for a repo — no giant project‑wide scans. Result: 2× less CPU, 10–15× faster execution. 📘 Blog: devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/optimiz…

Azure DevOps adds Actual Result for manual tests — step‑level outcomes, attachments, plan‑level enforcement, and full traceability in the Test Run Hub. Even accessible via REST API for automation. 👉 Blog: buff.ly/ndPbOmb

Big security win for Azure DevOps devs: • One‑click CodeQL scanning — no YAML, no tasks, org‑wide enablement • Unified alerts view — triage every repo from one screen • Security campaigns to track CVEs + secrets at scale 👉 Blog: devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/one-cli…

Agentic DevOps isn’t “AI for coding” — it’s AI agents working across the whole SDLC. Part 1 breaks down the foundations: AI‑native DevOps, agents that collaborate across planning→coding→testing→ops, cloud vs local agents, and when to use subagents. 📖, ift.tt/0jPniXp

Still shipping to Azure with “right‑click → publish”? See how to ditch click‑ops & let CI/CD do the heavy lifting. YAML builds your app, ARM/Bicep spin up infra, & Azure DevOps lands it in dev → QA → staging → prod without drama. Watch the breakdown → youtube.com/watch?v=NrMKyJ…

@stegothedump Hi, Stephen. We’ve sent a direct message regarding the Azure DevOps issue where only some users can access certain repositories. Please check your inbox to assist you further. Thank you.

@AzureDevOps Is there an issue with Devops today? Half our users have logged in and we dont have access to Repo's and half do have access?

Dive into AI‑native dev: multi‑agent workflows, sandboxed tools, in‑editor verification, and remote Copilot sessions you can continue from your phone. Plus: 80%+ commit‑rate metrics and how AI shifts the SDLC to product‑level decisions. AI DevOps Podcast: buff.ly/pmNsxEf

Razor Pages gets the spotlight: clean routing, simple GET/POST handlers, built‑in anti‑forgery, custom validation, Tag Helpers, templates, and view components that keep your UI tidy and reusable. Dig into the session replay: buff.ly/dbdtUuz

Azure DevOps Server’s April patch is out — fixing PR completion failures, tightening sign‑out validation, and cleaning up PAT connections to GH Enterprise. If you’re running self‑hosted ADO, this one’s worth grabbing. Here's where you need to start ➡️ devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/april-p…

GitHub Actions as real DevOps: • CI = fast checks • CD = gated, compliant releases • CodeQL + Dependabot = safety net • OIDC > secrets • Runners + events = automate everything • Slots + rolling deploys = zero downtime 👀 🎥 pipelines that scale: buff.ly/6BWZPTR

@wacklkontaktlos Hi, there. We saw your comment about the same concern as another user with Azure DevOps access, and we apologize for the late response. We'll look into this matter, and we would appreciate it if you could follow us and send a direct message, to maximize our character usage. ~JMG twitter.com/messages/compo…

@AzureDevOps @af4jm Same here, what to do?

@AzureDevOps just changed my access of my free ADO project to Stakeholder, even though I'm the Admin & only user, meaning I can't access my git repos... I can't submit a support ticket unless I upgrade to paid & the bot is useless... don't know what to do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #help

Now shipping: Microsoft Build 2026, June 2–3 Go deep on real code, real systems, and real workflows with the teams building and scaling AI. Two days. Hands-on sessions. No fluff. Get started: build.microsoft.com/sessions?wt.mc…

DevOps Playbook for the Agentic Era Agents don’t fix weak DevOps — they scale it. This guide breaks down readiness checks, human–agent collaboration zones, spec‑driven dev, and pipelines that verify intent, provenance, and hallucination‑free code. 📖 → buff.ly/sbNnfi2

Copilot CLI brings agentic AI to your terminal—explore code, generate files, run tasks, even delegate work to Copilot Cloud. A smooth way to stay in flow. 👉 Give it a try and see what your shell can pull off: buff.ly/UPQ6gZb 🎈

AI agents can plan, test, code, refactor, and even run UI flows — closing the loop instead of guessing. Here's a look at TDD with agents, Docker‑based integration loops, and how teams build shared “software factories.” Catch the episode: buff.ly/JgqoMJW

Azure DevOps now deploys to Web Apps using UAMI — no service principals, cleaner RBAC, and logs that finally show who/what actually triggered the deployment. 🔗 buff.ly/P2SWRrO

Running MCP servers on Azure Functions means you get autoscale, identity, and serverless ops. Now those same servers can power Foundry agents, giving teams a consistent tool surface across IDEs + AI workflows. Huge win for platform standardization. 👉 buff.ly/PRfA8W0

The new Fluent API for MCP Apps makes .NET Functions feel downright snappy for DevOps tooling. Promote any MCP tool → full app with views, CSP, permissions, and static assets in a few lines. No protocol plumbing, just clean config. Check it out, 🔗 buff.ly/cW0r7Kw

@dewydewhirst Good day, Anthony! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We’d like to help with the delay you’re experiencing when publishing test results in Azure DevOps. To use more characters and properly troubleshoot, please send us a DM. See you there! JA twitter.com/messages/compo…

@AzureDevOps is there something up with publishing test results? Taking over 10 mins during the last hour or so
