Integrate Your Azure DevOps Git Repos with OpsLevel

At OpsLevel we believe Service Ownership is the foundation for scaling a modern software engineering organization. But ownership is much more than Team X owns service Y. It also includes important work like:

• Defining, documenting, and prioritizing your best practices
• Measuring services against those standards
• Doing the work to improve services and meet (or exceed!) standards

Git Repositories & Ownership

Standards or best practices can cover any facet of a service’s design, configuration, or performance and be measured from a variety of angles. But an ideal starting point is a service’s source code. 

With scalable access to all your git repos, it’s simple to validate things like:

• Do all my services have codeowners files?
• Are all my services using our minimum acceptable version of javascript?
  
  

That’s why we’re excited to add Azure DevOps to our roster of git integrations; we want more teams to have access to all the benefits of embracing Service Ownership.

With the new integration, teams using Azure DevOps (ADO) Git repositories have access to a suite of powerful functionality for cataloging, measuring, and improving their services. Teams can:

• Use YAML files in repos to control service ownership and associated metadata
• Review all repos from your integrated ADO account in OpsLevel and assign repo ownership
• Verify that all services in OpsLevel are mapped to a repository
• Confirm that repositories are using branch protection on their default branch
• Search repos for the presence of specified files and strings

Configuring the ADO git integration requires just a few clicks in OpsLevel, though we do suggest using a service account as the integrating user. You can find the full instructions for setting up the integration in our docs.
