Azure DevOps

What is Azure DevOps?

Azure DevOps is a cloud-based platform by Microsoft that provides a suite of development tools for planning, building, testing, and deploying applications. It includes services like Azure Repos for version control, Azure Pipelines for CI/CD automation, and Azure Boards for project management, enabling teams to streamline software development and delivery.

How is this integration useful?

Integrating Azure DevOps with Entitle enables Just-in-Time (JIT) access, reduces insider threats, minimizes human errors, and streamlines collaboration by automating access provisioning for repositories, pipelines, and boards. It also enhances security, improves operational efficiency, and simplifies compliance with clear audit trails of permission changes.

With this integration, Entitle can manage Repositories in Azure DevOps.
