Azure Pipelines provides build services (CI), that are free for open source projects and available in the GitHub marketplace. Azure Pipelines also provides release management for continuous delivery (CD) to any cloud and on-premises servers. With Azure Pipelines, you’ll be able to continuously build, test and deploy to any platform and cloud. **Do not** use this tag for Azure Data Factory pipeline questions.
Azure Pipelines is a Microsoft Azure DevOps service that offers cloud-hosted pipelines for Linux, macOS, and Windows with 10 free parallel jobs and unlimited minutes for open source projects.
Any language, platform, and cloud: Build, test, and deploy Node.js, Python, Java, PHP, Ruby, Go, C/C++, C#, Android, and iOS apps. Run in parallel on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Deploy to cloud providers like Azure, AWS, and GCP. Distribute mobile apps through beta channels and app stores.
Native container support: Create new containers with ease and push them to any registry. Deploy containers to independent hosts or Kubernetes.
Advanced workflows and features: Easy build chaining and multi-phased builds. Support for YAML, test integration, release gates, reporting, and more.
Extensible: Use a range of build, test, and deployment tasks built by the community – hundreds of extensions from Slack to SonarCloud. Deploy from other CI systems, like Jenkins. Webhooks and REST APIs help you integrate.
Free, to you from Azure Pipelines: Free cloud-hosted builds for public and private repositories.
