I'd like to point out that it appears their Pipelines is the only hosted CI tool on the market that supports every platform. Are there any others?

What do you mean by supports every platform?

There are a bunch of CI tools (Jenkins, Travis, etc.) that offer either hosted service that work everywhere, or on-prem which can be installed on every major platform.

Hello, I think I found a bug with your organizations. I own skmexyz.visualstudio.com (under sk@skme.xyz account) and I tried to transfer it to skmexyz@skmexyz.onmicrosoft.com and now: 1. Both accounts are not admins so I can't delete / modify it (it asks me to contact the administrator when I am obviously the administrator) 2. It claims that it's being managed by Default Directory on Azure but I can't appear do anyth…

I'm sorry to hear that - can you contact our support directly through the method of your choice? https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/devops/ has the options. (Sorry, our team hangs out most places, but we don't do support on HN).

Thanks. I've opened a support ticket.

I mean that the hosted build environment supports every platform (Windows, Mac, Linux).

Travis for instance only supports Mac and Linux. Circle CI supports Mac and Linux. Appveyor supports Windows and Linux.

Other tools like Jenkins or Buildkite can be installed anywhere but you have manage the build servers.

How many times has this thing been re-branded? 1. Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2. Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) 3. Azure DevOps Imagine if GitHub renamed itself every few years? Or is the idea that this is going to be marketed towards Azure users and GitHub will be promoted to the new VSTS once it gets a few more features for project management and PRs? https://twitter.com/styfle/status/1032702016064286720

you forgot that last year it was called VSO (Visual Studio Online)

> "operations and development teams working together using high quality software tools to define, automate and distribute configuration and management information, integrating QA, release management and security" This description has enough wiggle room that you could sail an aircraft carrier through it. I don't think there can be a short term to describe all that and stay meaningful; the term "devops" itself has alwa…

Not really, it's all in the first bit: "devops: operations and development teams working together."

If so, then why add all these other words?

Part of turning a plain old good idea into a consulting phenomenon? See: agile, scrum.

I don't know of any, but are very happy about this announcement because of this reason.

Can MSDN subscribers apply their credit towards this service?

No, they can't use their free Azure credits towards Azure DevOps. Azure DevOps is free for teams of up to five users. It's also effectively free for open source use by teams of any size. Larger teams working on private projects would need to be on one of the paid tiers and can't use the free Azure credits to pay for that.

To clarify a bit: _Azure credits_ cannot be used to pay for Azure DevOps subscriptions. So if you want another parallel pipeline, then you cannot use Azure credits to pay for that.

However, Visual Studio subscribers do get licenses for Azure DevOps. If you're a Visual Studio Professional subscriber, then you get a Basic license for Azure DevOps. You get additional benefits if you're a Visual Studio Enterprise subscriber. You can find the details at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/subscriptions/...
