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.
Auditing for Azure DevOps is now available for all organizations as a Public Preview! A new way to monitor activities and changes throughout Azure DevOps organizations.
Azure DevOps is currently investing in enhancing its routing structure. As a result of this enhancement, our IP address space will be changing. If you're currently using firewall rules to allow traffic to Azure DevOps, please be sure to update these rules to account for our new IP ranges.
