TFS is on-premise, all these 3 are online. This is clear.
What I don't understand is: What is the difference between these 3?
VSO
VSTS
Azure DevOps
It seems they are all the same, but I guess I miss something.
These three names actually refer to the same service. Both vso and vsts are the former names of azure devops.
On November 2015, Microsoft announced the transition of its Visual Studio Online (VSO) service to the name Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) which better describes the role that it has as the platform for DevOps delivery. You can refer to this blog.
On September 10, 2018, Microsoft renamed Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) to Azure DevOps Services. See the details about the rename here.

I have Azure Devops server 2019 update 1.1, I understand from a couple of videos that when we try to create a new pipeline, we should see several options as follows
whereas on my server, there is no "Githyb Yaml", only enterprise or othergit
Am I missing a config or an update? Thanks
Azure DevOps Server 2019 - Create pipeline - No GitHub yaml option in Where is Your Code
According to the official document Supported source repositories, Azure Devops server 2019 does not support GitHub as Source Repository type even in Classic editor:
So, there is no GitHub yaml option on the Azure DevOps Server 2019. It is currently only supported by Azure devops services.
I am following along the tutorial with SmartHotel360 and trying to set it up. In the README.md, it says 'In VSTS, navigate to Services by clicking on the gear icon...' and this is to create a new service endpoint. Where is this done? What is VSTS? Visual Studio Team Server? Do I first make a branch of the SmartHotel360 and open this in Visual Studio? What if I am using one email account to access the code where the tasks are assigned and another email to complete the courses? Does this make a difference?
I guess my question is, where is this VSTS? Is this where I view the SmartHotel360 code?
Azure DevOps Services was formerly named Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) -- rebranded as Azure DevOps in 2018. So the tutorial you followed should be before 2018.
The github README.md about SmartHotel360(like this) are retired, archived, and no longer supported. For the latest sample references please visit: https://aka.ms/tailwindtraders & https://aka.ms/rpsls
To interact with Azure, you'll need to create a Service Endpoint in Azure DevOps. This endpoint includes the authentication information required to deploy to Azure. This document gives a guide to configure Service Endpoint in Azure DevOps, please refer to it.
We recently upgraded to Azure Devops Server 2019 but i don't see Environments under the Pipeline menu.
Is the Environment feature present in Azure Devops Server 2019?
I am afraid that the Environment feature is currently not supported in Azure Devops Server 2019. To use the Environment feature, you need to upgrade to Server 2020. For details,please refer to this release note.
In addition, you could add your request for supporting this feature on server 2019 on our UserVoice site , which is our main forum for product suggestions. The product team would provide the updates if they view it. Thank you for helping us build a better Azure DevOps.
My team uses the Team Retrospective extension & it's being un-published from the marketplace later this month. I'd love to know if Azure Devops will continue to support this extension and/or if it will be replaced as a new feature within the Azure Devops platform.
I'd love to know if Azure Devops will continue to support this extension and/or if it will be replaced as a new feature within the Azure Devops platform.
AFAIK, Azure Devops will continue to support this extension. I got following message:
Retrospectives will be un-published from the Marketplace on May 29,
2020 Beginning on May 29th, 2020 the Team Retrospectives extension
will no longer be available on the Azure DevOps Marketplace. Existing
installations will continue to work with the exception of the
real-time update feature, until your organization admin explicitly
removes the extension from the ADO tenant. Thank you to everyone who
provided feedback for helping to improve the extension ecosystem.
So, if you have already installed this extension on your organization, it will continue to be supported.
Hope this helps.
It seems #opshub allows migration from on-premise TFS to another Visual Studio Team Services account? Is there tool available to migrate source code from one Visual Studio Team Services account to another
While the Free version of OpsHub Visual Studio Migration Utility (OVSMU) only supports on-prem TFS to VSTS migration. The Commercial version of the tool supports all variations of migration (including TFS to TFS, VSTS to VSTS and VSTS to TFS) along with many more features.
