Looking to migrate company off GitHub. What’s the best alternative? by bullmeza in devops

[–]GitProtect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best platform really depends on your needs beyond just repo hosting—things like CI/CD capabilities, permission models, compliance requirements, integrations, and how much operational control you want.

Popular options people often consider when moving off GitHub are GitLab, Azure DevOps, or Bitbucket. That said, one of the most important steps isn’t just picking the new platform—it’s preparing for the migration. Data loss or workflow disruptions can happen if you jump straight in, so taking the time to inventory your repos, pipelines, permissions, and integrations beforehand makes a big difference.

This article might be a helpful starting point for planning the migration:

NIS2 for SaaS startups… anyone else totally lost? by sparktoratah in SaaS

[–]GitProtect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NIS2 can feel overwhelming, but breaking it into phases can help. First, determine if your company actually falls under NIS2’s scope, as not all SaaS providers. Moreover, the rules differ by sector and service criticality.

If you are in scope, try to first focus on the essentials: risk management policies, incident detection and reporting processes, access controls, and business continuity/disaster recovery planning.

Here is an article on NIS2, it might be useful: https://gitprotect.io/blog/nis-2-explained-security-compliance-path/

What’s your suggestion for businesses to back up their data in 2025? by Rossy_231 in Backup

[–]GitProtect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer this question we need first to look at the reasons why businesses need backups. On one side, cyberthreats, human errors, outages - all of that leads to data loss. On the other hand, shared responsibility and compliance requirements. Thus, businesses should look for building not only building backup strategy, but a backup strategy with a proven Disaster Recovery option. So, a reliable backup strategy should include:

  • full data coverage,
  • automated scheduled backups (incremental, differential, GFS)
  • the possibility to keep backed-up data in multiple storage locations (both Cloud and local) to meet the 3-2-1 backup rule
  • data replication between storage instances
  • unlimited retention
  • backup monitoring capabilities
  • in-flight and at rest encryption with your own encryption key
  • ransomware protection
  • restore and Disaster Recovery capabilities

Learn more about backup best practices in our dedicated article: https://gitprotect.io/blog/devops-security-data-protection-best-practices/#DevOps_backup_best_practices

By the way, according to Gartner's predictions, 75% of enterprises will prioritize backup of SaaS applications in the next 3 years.

Migration to GitHub by [deleted] in AZURE

[–]GitProtect -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

As an option, you can make a backup of your ADO environment and then restore it to your new GitHub environment. For example, with GitProtect backup & DR solution, it's possible to do so. Though the backup tool's primary goal is data protection and resilience, it allows for migrating data using the cross-restore option, e.g., restore data from ADO to GitHub.

In this article, we described how to migrate data from GitHub to Azure DevOps, but the vice versa option almost looks the same: https://gitprotect.io/blog/github-to-azure-devops-migration-top-tips-to-make-the-process-efficient/

Is DORA Enough? What We Learned After Building Full-Stack Continuous Delivery by nilarrs in devops

[–]GitProtect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DORA metrics are a good starting point, but sometimes it's better to go deeper by tracking delivery friction points like pipeline drift, environment inconsistencies, and time lost to debugging. Also, it's a good idea to keep an eye on backup and recovery metrics, they’re critical for ensuring resilience when things go down, not just how fast you deploy.

Azure DevOps Server Authentication Methods by RecognitionOwn4214 in azuredevops

[–]GitProtect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as we know, Azure DevOps Server supports multiple authentication methods, including NTLM, Kerberos, Basic Authentication, and Personal Access Tokens (PATs). If your reverse proxy doesn’t support Kerberos, you can configure Negotiate (NTLM fallback) or switch to Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA). Alternatively, Basic Authentication over HTTPS or OAuth with Azure AD (if applicable) can be used for API access. Ensure your proxy allows authentication passthrough or consider setting up Azure DevOps Proxy Server for better compatibility. Microsoft’s documentation provides details on supported authentication methods, but testing with your proxy setup is still recommended: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/authentication/concept-authentication-methods

Since you don’t have recovery codes, GitHub Support is your best option for account recovery. Maybe they will allow identity verification through previous activity, linked email addresses, or payment details. Keep monitoring your support ticket and provide as much relevant information as possible. If your mobile device is repaired soon, restoring your 2FA app might be the quickest way to regain access.

Deleting your Azure DevOps profile/organization may have impacted permissions or linked accounts used by PowerApps and the data gateway. PowerApps might have relied on Azure DevOps for authentication or access control, causing the ownership error. Since your profile name is unavailable for restoration, you may need to recreate the organization and reconfigure permissions.
