What is Azure DevOps?
Azure DevOps is Microsoft's umbrella suite of DevOps tools, bringing together Azure Boards for work item tracking and Kanban planning, Azure Repos for Git version control, Azure Pipelines for continuous integration and deployment, Azure Artifacts for package management, and Azure Test Plans for manual and exploratory testing. It serves teams that want an integrated toolchain covering the full software delivery lifecycle, available as a cloud service or as Azure DevOps Server for on-premises use.
The first five users on an organization get free Basic access to Boards and Repos, with additional users billed monthly and a separate Basic plus Test Plans tier for teams needing test management. Pipelines include free monthly build minutes with paid options for extra parallel jobs, and Artifacts includes free storage before per-gigabyte charges apply. Azure DevOps integrates with GitHub, Slack, Teams, and over 1,000 marketplace extensions.
