This week, the emerging theme of the community posts is the cross-platform, cross-cloud, extensible nature of Azure DevOps. Azure DevOps is not just a product, but a platform, enabling the community to expand and improve on our engineering efforts to support the growing variety of technologies around the world.
We are rolling out a new tenant policy in Azure DevOps to configure who are allowed to create new Azure DevOps organizations in your company.
Azure DevOps will no longer support Alternate Credentials authentication beginning March 2, 2020. Customers still using Alternate Credentials have until then to transition to a more secure authentication method, to avoid this breaking change impacting their DevOps workflows.
After all the recent travel, I finally got to spend this week at home and recharge. It was a much-needed break, and I got to enjoy Chicago, even though the winter decided to arrive early this year. So we can make a fresh cup of tea, and enjoy some community posts on code security and mobile development!
This week was the week of GitHub Universe, with some fantastic announcements coming out. If you've missed it, it is definitely worth taking a look at the day one and two keynotes. In the meantime, check out the great content the Azure DevOps community shared!
Codecov.io added tokenless uploading of coverage results for public Azure Pipelines.
Sharing what's new with Azure Artifacts. You can now share packages publicly with anyone on the Internet (without authentication). You can also restrict feeds to a specific project only. We've also made other performance improvements, and we've added a new "Feed recycle bin".
This week, Microsoft Ignite brought our team to sunny Orlando, Florida, along with thousands of professionals leveraging Microsoft technologies around the globe. To give you a taste of the event, this week's post features some of the recordings of the community-driven Microsoft Ignite sessions dedicated to Azure DevOps.
The new Review Apps feature of Azure Pipelines (in preview) allows developers to dynamically create environments on every Pull Request, to test applications consisting of multiple microservices.
New preview capabilities for Azure Pipelines let you define artifact policies that are enforced before deploying to critical environments such as production. You will be able to define custom policies that are evaluated against all the deployable artifacts in a given pipeline run and block the deployment if the artifacts don't comply.
