I can't see any documentation around creating Premium tier Azure SignalR Service. Has any one managed to deploy one? I don't see any premium options in the portal nor via bicep.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-signalr/signalr-howto-scale-autoscale
if the name has only two options, Premium in tier, doesn't make sense, have tried though with no luck
. Any suggestions?
EDIT: Premium Tier is now public to all
Premium tier has not public released yet. We're preparing for that. It's expected to be public in March.

Seeking input from anyone who has done this before.
We need to create additional organizations in GitHub that will be accessible to different groups of users so we moved to the Enterprise Cloud implementation. Our single Org will be moved into the Enterprise to absorb the seats into our Enterprise licenses.
We are using SAML SSO on our current org. I would like to setup a separate IdP definition for the Enterprise SSO configuration to start with and migrate the org users to the enterprise at a later time. Will this work as described?
I realize there may be some action innersource issues for private repos. But I think those just need to be changed to Internal.
If you have performed a similar migration, did you run into any unexpected issues? Do you have any tips to avoid any nasty hiccups?
The answer from their support groups is no, this will not work.
"configuring SSO at the Enterprise will overwrite SSO for all organizations under it."
Can someone recommend Help/Service Desk management system which works good with Azure DevOps?
We already have Azure Devops for code management with ci cd and test suites.
I am also considering JIRA service desk management, however thinking a bit scpetical in the lines of having two similar eco systems.
In next few months, we forsee potential clients who makes use of our IT services and would like to support them using service desk management.
Thank you.
By reference to this doc: What features and services do I get with Azure DevOps?, Azure DevOps provide Boards service including Agile process, Basic Process, Scrum process and CMMI process, which is easily sharing information and track the status of work, tasks, issues, or code defects. See: Azure DevOps Labs for details.
In addition, if you use Slack, you can use the Azure Boards app for Slack to create work items and monitor work item activity in your Azure Boards project from your Slack channel. If you use Microsoft Teams, you can use the Azure Boards app for Microsoft Teams to create work items and monitor work item activity in your Azure Boards project from your Teams channel. And Jira, Zappier, Service Now and so on.
BTW, if you use other management system like TeamSupport Help Desk, you could use Microsoft Power Platform to create automated workflows.
After investigation, we found that currently Azure DevOps has no service desk feature, I found a suggestion ticket in Developer community. You can vote and follow this ticket. You can also create a new suggestion ticket here. The product group will review these tickets regularly, and consider take it as roadmap.
BTW, I found this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/azuredevops/comments/cbkxwz/azure_devops_as_a_help_desk_ticket_system/, which provides several choices, you could check it.
I've tried to find an answer to this but nothing that gives anything definite.
I have a MSDN subscription (Visual Studio Enterprise). I have used the benefit from that to create a Azure DevOps environment that works well.
I am looking to create a new set of projects for a specific company, and it seems logical to create a new 'Organisation' to hold that code and work items.
Can you do this with the MSDN license? Or do I need to buy a subscription to bill that Azure DevOps instance to?
Can I have multiple Azure DevOps organisations with MSDN Subscription?
The short answer is NO.
Visual Studio Enterprise and Azure devops are two different products that have their own licenses, they could not share a licenses.
Besides, you can have multiple Azure DevOps organisations for free, but the free tier of resources in your organization is restricted, the Free tier includes:
Five Azure DevOps users (Basic).
Five Azure Artifacts users.
Free Tier of Microsoft-hosted CI/CD (one concurrent job, up to 30 hours per month).
One self-hosted CI/CD concurrent job.
20,000 virtual user minutes of cloud-based load testing.
When you need more than the free tier of resources in your organization, or to buy other features for your users that are offered by Microsoft or other companies via the Visual Studio Marketplace, on the Azure DevOps tab, you need buy a subscription to bill that Azure DevOps instance.
Check following threads for some more details:
Billing overview for Azure DevOps

Compare features between plans
Hope this helps.
Not sure if Leo entirely answers the question.
Since you do have Azure DevOps as a MSDN benefit beyond the free tier.
MSDN Azure DevOps Benefits
So the question as I understand it is, does the MSDN Azure DevOps benefits follow the user? Or is it tied to just one Organization? Luckily this has just changed or at least been clarified, not sure how it worked before.
Still only states the regular payd plans, and not the MSDN benefits, but I can't see any reason why this should be any different.
One license works across multiple organizations
Starting in late June,
users will only need one license per Azure subscription, even if they
are part of multiple Azure DevOps organizations. This means that
regardless of how many organizations a user is a part of in a given
Azure subscription, they will only need and only pay for one Basic or
one Basic + Test Plans license.

I have been struggling to find a guidance or best practice documentation for new Azure Tenant who want to start the Azure DevOps Service journey.
The Azure DevOps documentation is created in a piece meal approach and there is no proper documentation about such guidance and it is maddening to scan through several Azure DevOps product/feature to figure out the content I wanted.
From the documentation, I understand that one needs to create Azure Organization and project structure etc. and then users within the AAD (Company's MAC tenant) can be added to Organization or at project level to collaborate.
But if I am a new Organization or Entity that has just acquired a Azure Commercial Cloud subscription then what are the guidelines to setup my Azure DevOps organization?
E.g. Do I have to be a Global Admin of my Azure Commercial
Subscription to first start the Azure DevOps Organization? Or can I be
a Admin for Dev/Test Subscription and then start the Azure DevOps
Organization? Can I use my Dev/test subscription to create Azure
DevOps organization? What are some limitation or restruction with regard to my Azure Subscription in terms of ability to create Azure DevOps organization? What roles are advised to initiate the Organization creation process?
Where is the guidance documentation or best practice documentation around it so we can put a proper governance structure on Azure DevOps - organization/project and users etc.
Here are some high level prerequisite for setting up Azure DevOps Service:
You must have a tenant in Azure Commercial or Public Cloud. You can still deploy and build on other cloud or on-premise. You need public cloud to host your DevOps Org and project configuration and optionally to host the git based code repo.
You need a Subscription in Azure Public cloud tenant
You will need a user with Account Admin, Service Admin or Subscription Admin level privileges to create first DevOPs Organization
After creating the DevOps Organization, Users (scrum master, Managers, developers and testers ) can be invited to these organization from DevOps Organization settings
Users who have Visual Studio (VS) Enterprise licenses will see most of the features in the Azure DevOps Service Organization. So having a Visual Studio Enterprise or professional license subscription is useful and these users are counted as free for Azure DevOps service user pool. These VS license already come with benefit attached and part of those benefit is the access to Azure DevOps service.
It will be greatly beneficial for Admin team (devOps Org management team) to try to understand how Azure DevOps Service Access levels and permission works and how they are mapped to different Visual Studio licenses and how to configure these access for different role of users. You can find useful information in this regard on AzureDocs.
You do not need to have Visual Studio license (it is optional) to use Azure DevOps Service. By default Azure DevOps service is free for small team of 5 developers with limited access to features. So small organization can immediately start using it within their Enterprise Account or Pay-as-you-go subscription. You can add users to your Azure DevOps Service organization irrespective of if they have VS licenses and you can pay for their subscription on a monthly basis.
Also, I will highly recommend training course from Microsoft Learn website on Azure DevOps Service to get excellent understanding of prerequisite and features of Azure DevOps Service. Just search for DevOps keyword and you will find number of courses with different modules that will provide step by step instructions on setting up your first Azure DevOps Service Organization to integrating with GitHub and building pipeline, static code analysis etc.
When I try to create a DevOps project In Azure portal
Home>DevOps Projects
When I click Add,ASP.NET Core, Web App Windows or Web App Linux
The only option for service plans is S1
The Pricing tier shows as S1 Standard
Is there any way to get a cheaper tier? Is there even a way to share the plan. There seems to be no choice on the create screen.
Yes, it is possible. Click the Change button to open Settings where you can change Pricing tier.
