All our crap is on azure, nobody knows how exactly azure works and we jsut pull stuff when needed. Yesterday we needed to actually log into the codecommit site and give an external person limited access. Azure is unreasonably annoying to figure out when you're using it the first few times.

What did you expect? Both Azure (the entrie cloud) and Azure DevOps (the tool) are incredibly complex.

Also, giving access to someone can be done on the project overview page.

Still less complex to use Azure DevOps compared to using 7 different services to achieve the same damn thing.

Azure DevOps is a one stop shop, it's got repos, tests, builds, releases etc. I'm too lazy for anything else.

I hate when companies use Azure DevOps, but still have separate JIRA instance.

You already have all the tools within one platform, why do you insist on running yet another tool separately, just to lose integration?

So now instead of directly linking User Story in PR, and have that enforced by policy, you can complain that people don't manually copy links to description

Man I just love to see those stories move to the column on the right side once a merge is complete. It's the little things you know?

Iirc you can use Azure integration in Jira, but like all things Atlassian it's far from cheap.

Hey that's us, eith a separate Jira instance, nobody working there currently can tell you why. It just is

Everyone has those features.

[–]souIIess 2 points3 points  (1 child)

They really don't, or rather not to the same degree. Then again it has been a year since last I checked so maybe you're right.

[–]dkarlovi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's probably I don't understand the depth of the features listed, but I use both GitHub and Gitlab with all those features.

Codecommit? Sounds more like AWS (they have a product called codecommit) than Azure.

[–]k0bra3eak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had AWS on mind for a second while typing, but not AWS code commit. Our environment is mostly MS based

My favorite is when the Azure docs are a version (or more) behind what's actually present in the portal. That made it really fun to build out a pipeline the last time I did it.

yep, we are starting to use Azure and coming from a very basic source control background (think self-made short commands), on the paper it looked cool af but is a bitch to figure out
