The Microsoft team is pleased to announce the availability of Azure DevOps Server 2019 is provides integrated tools to support collaborative software development, including Git repositories, continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD), and interactive Kanban boards.

DevOps Server 2019, used for developer collaboration, is the company's rebranded successor to Team Foundation Server 2018. The company published the Release Candidate 2 test in January. Erin Dormier, release manager for Azure DevOps, announced production environment-ready release of Azure DevOps Server 2019 "RTW" (or "Release to Web" version) online here.

Azure DevOps Server 2019 is notable for having a redesigned user interface that follows Microsoft's Fluent design concepts. Developers get access to various services, such as Azure Pipelines for continuous integration/continuous development across different languages and platforms. It has an Azure Artifacts service for package feeds and project tracking via the Azure Boards service. Testing is supported by the Azure Test Plans component. The server also works with the Azure Repos service to integrate with Git repos.

Note that Microsoft also offers a subscription-based Azure DevOps Service, announced back in September, that's hosted from Microsoft's datacenters. However, the idea of using Azure DevOps Server 2019 is that organizations can deploy it in their own infrastructures or any datacenter. Companies can also use Azure datacenter infrastructure if they want to host the server there, but Microsoft handles all of the maintenance aspects when organizations use its Azure DevOps Service offering.

Users of Team Foundation Server 2012 and newer versions can upgrade to Azure DevOps Server 2019. The new server requires using 64-bit Windows Server 2012 or higher and SQL Server 2016 Service Pack 1 or higher (or the Azure SQL Database service). It'll run on Windows 10 version 1607 (Pro or Enterprise) clients, too, but that's just for individual use. The use of Windows 10 also brings other limitations, such as no SharePoint support and an inability to install Azure DevOps Server Proxy, according to Microsoft's requirements page.

Azure DevOps Server 2019 is a server product, but Microsoft nonetheless bills monthly for use of the associated Azure services. There's even a 99.9 percent service-level agreement uptime promise when using the "paid Azure Test Plans Load Testing Service," according to Microsoft's pricing page.

Key highlights include:

- The new navigation, which enables users to easily navigate between services, is more responsive and provides more space to focus on your work. But note this is a major UI overhaul - the largest we have done for several years, so please make sure your users are aware of the changes and update appropriate internal documentation as part of upgrading.
- Azure Pipelines has been enhanced in many ways including new Build and Release pages, and support for YAML builds.
- In addition to our existing integration between GitHub Enterprise and Azure Pipelines, which has been available in previous versions of TFS, Azure DevOps Server 2019 also enables integration of GitHub Enterprise commits and pull requests with work items in Azure Boards.
- Organizations wishing to host Azure DevOps Server on their own virtual machines (VMs) on Azure can use Azure SQL Database instead of managing their own SQL Server VMs.
- Azure Artifacts and Release Management licensing has evolved, making it simpler and more cost-effective for most customers.

About Azure DevOps Server. Previously known as Team Foundation Server (TFS), Azure DevOps Server is a set of collaborative software development tools, hosted on-premises. Azure DevOps Server integrates with your existing IDE or editor, enabling your cross-functional team to work effectively on projects of all sizes.

Azure DevOps includes developer collaboration tools which can be used together or independently, including Azure Boards (Work), Azure Repos (Code), Azure Pipelines (Build and Release), Azure Test Plans (Test), and Azure Artifacts (Packages). These tools support all popular programming languages, any platform (including macOS, Linux, and Windows) or cloud, as well as on-premises environments. Like with TFS, you control where you install Azure DevOps Server and when you apply updates. If you prefer to let us manage, use Azure DevOps Services which is available in more geographic regions than any other cloud hosted developer collaboration service.
