Differences Between Azure Devops And Devops
The following are the major differences between Azure DevOps And DevOps on comparing major criterias.
Criteria | Azure DevOps | DevOps |
Definition | Microsoft’s set of tools to reduce the number of “dots” involved in DevOps. | A set of practices to deploy code from development to production in a swift and smooth manner. |
Tools used | Azure Repos, Azure Artifacts, Azure Pipelines, Azure Boards. | Git, GitHub, Maven, Nexus, Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, etc. |
Integration | Closely integrated with Azure cloud | No limitations on integration with any cloud service |
Agent machines | Microsoft-hosted agent machine provided by Azure for builds | Need to create an agent machine on your own |
Configuration | Ready-made YAML templates provided by Azure DevOps | Pipeline script needs to be written from scratch |
Learning curve | Less compared to DevOps | More compared to Azure DevOps |
Infrastructure | More aligned to Azure infra | No limitations on the infrastructure used |
Difference Between Azure Devops and Devops
DevOps is a set of practices that we follow to deploy code from development to production swiftly and smoothly. The term “DevOps” came into existence to describe the commonalities between Development and Operations. From creating the source code to deployment and monitoring in production, DevOps involves several different tools or “dots”.
A good DevOps Engineer connects all these dots to make the code deployment efficient. Some of the most common open-source tools include Git, GitHub, Maven, Nexus, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, etc. Let’s know about the difference between Azure DevOps and DevOps with the diagram, and architecture below.
