Overview​

The Azure DevOps plugin brings Azure DevOps pipeline visibility into Portal, enabling teams to monitor their builds, releases, and deployments from a unified developer portal. This comprehensive integration provides developers with access to CI/CD pipelines, work items, pull requests, and repository information without leaving Portal.

Key Features​

  • Pipeline runs overview — displays recent pipeline runs with status indicators (success, failure, in-progress) directly on entity pages.
  • Build and release history — provides comprehensive view of build and release pipelines with execution details.
  • Real-time status updates — shows live updates of pipeline execution status and test results.
  • Work item integration — displays Azure DevOps work items (user stories, tasks, bugs) associated with entities.
  • Pull request tracking — shows Azure Repos pull requests with review status and merge information.
  • Repository insights — displays repository statistics, branches, and commit information.
  • Test results monitoring — provides visibility into test execution results and code coverage metrics.
    • Entity mapping — links Backstage components to Azure DevOps projects via annotations (dev.azure.com/project-repo).
  • Multi-organization support — works with multiple Azure DevOps organizations and projects.
  • IDP benefit — centralizes Azure DevOps visibility, reduces context-switching, and provides a unified view of CI/CD and project management within Portal.
