Updated: Announcing Azure DevOps Server 2020 RC1 | Azure DevOps Blog

Update: We received feedback in this blog and the Developer Community about an issue after upgrading from Azure DevOps Server 2019 Update 1.1 to Azure DevOps Server 2020 RC1. Today we are re-releasing Azure DevOps Server RC1 to fix this issue.

Previously, after upgrading from Azure DevOps Server 2019 Update 1.1 to Azure DevOps Server 2020 RC1 you were not able to view files in the Repos, Pipelines and Wiki of the Web UI. The error message indicated “an unexpected error has occurred within this region of the page. You can try reloading this component or refreshing the entire page.”

We identified a problem with a Feature Flag that comes with a different value when Azure DevOps Server is upgraded from Azure DevOps Server 2019 Update 1.1 to Azure DevOps Server 2020 RC1. The Feature Flag was created for Azure DevOps Server 2019 Update 1.1, and defaulted to On for that release. The intent of the Feature Flag was to address the memory issues in servers with low RAM by dropping all debug files. The fix with default to On for the Feature Flag was not ported to Azure DevOps Server 2020 RC1 release. In addition, we did not test the upgrade scenario with the default to On for Feature Flag in Azure DevOps Server 2020 RC1. We will add this and similar scenarios to our pre-release test coverage to avoid similar issues in the future. The fix is now available in Azure DevOps Server 2020 RC1 Patch 1 release.

If you have upgraded to the previous version of Azure DevOps Server 2020 RC1, we recommend that you upgrade to this new release. You can use the links provided below to upgrade from Team Foundation Server 2015 or newer, Azure DevOps Server 2019 and Azure DevOps Server 2020 RC1. We thank you for trying this release and reporting issue, and we apologize for the impact this may have caused.

We are very excited to announce Azure DevOps Server 2020 RC1. We’ve added a ton of new features which you can read about in our release notes. You’ll find a deeper dive into these great highlights, along with screenshots, samples and technical info to get you started.

Here are a few of the highlights:

• Continuous deployment in YAML
• Parent Work Item filter on the task board and sprint backlog
• Auditing for Azure Repo events
• New Test Plan page
• Rich editing for code wiki pages
• Pipeline failure and duration reports

This is a go-live release, meaning you can install it on production servers. We expect to have another RC release before our final release.

How to Extend your DevOps Strategy For Success in the Cloud?

DevOps and Cloud computing are joined at the hip, now that fact is well appreciated by the organizations that engaged in SaaS cloud and developed applications in the Cloud. During the COVID crisis period, most of the organizations have started using cloud computing services and implementing a cloud-first strategy to establish their remote operations. Similarly, the extended DevOps strategy will make the development process more agile with automated test cases.

According to the survey in EMEA, IT decision-makers have observed a 129%* improvement in the overall software development process when performing DevOps on the Cloud. This success result was just 81% when practicing only DevOps and 67%* when leveraging Cloud without DevOps. Not only that, but the practice has also made the software predictability better, improve the customer experience as well as speed up software delivery 2.6* times faster.

3 Core Principle to fit DevOps Strategy

If you consider implementing DevOps in concert with the Cloud, then the

below core principle will guide you to utilize the strategy.

• It is indispensable to follow a continuous process, including all stages from Dev to deploy with the help of auto-provisioning resources of the target platform.
• The team always keeps an eye on major and minor application changes that can typically appear within a few hours of development to operation. However, the support of unlimited resource provisioning is needed at the stage of deployment.
• Cloud or hybrid configuration can associate this process, but you must confirm that configuration should support multiple cloud brands like Microsoft, AWS, Google, any public and private cloud models.

Guide to Remold Business with DevOps and Cloud

Companies are now re-inventing themselves to become better at sensing the next big thing their customers need and finding ways with the Cloud based DevOps to get ahead of the competition.
