Is it possible to integrate Azure Boards with gitlab. I would like link my tasks/stories in azure boards to commits in gitlab (hosted version). Documentation talks about Azure REpo and GitHub integration.
Is it possible to integrate Azure Boards with gitlab
For this issue, I am afraid it is currently unachievable in azure devops. Only extension that integrate gitlab with azure pipelines is currently provided.
When we click on the add link button in the Development of the work item, there is no gitlab option in the Link type drop-down list in the popup box.

Have you ever tried to use Jira as development board and Azure DevOps as repository + CI/CD Pipelines?
I was wondering if it is possible to link to Jira tasks the results of Azure pipelines deployments and builds, i found this plugin but reviews say is not working properly recently.
EDIT
Using the mentioned plugins seems the right way although they are not working properly at the moment. I will try to contact the support as suggested.
According to your description, you can try to use the plugin for Azure DevOps.
Then you can use the flow: Jira -> GitHub -> Azure Pipelines CI -> Azure Pipelines CD.
For more information, you could refer to the Azure Pipelines integration with Jira Software.
I have recently migrated the work items to Jira Cloud. I am using Azure Devops for my releases.
I want to use Jira API to update the issue once the release is completed. My issues contains a release info field which I want to update with my Release number in Azure DevOps
I read Jira API documentation from - https://docs.atlassian.com/jira-software/REST/7.3.1/
but couldn't get a clue updating an issue field.
Also tried to understand https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/updating-an-issue-via-the-jira-rest-apis-6848604/ still couldn't get what I am looking for.
Is there any other option/ API which I am missing. Any help on this is appreciated.
This blog: Azure Pipelines integration with Jira Software, mentions that you can install Azure Pipelines integration with Jira and connect Azure DevOps organizations with your Jira Software instance. So you can follow this tutorial: Integrate with Jira Issue tracking to report deployment status to Jira issues.
I am following the steps outlined here. I am using the Deploy to Azure Extension
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/targets/deploy-to-azure-vscode?view=azure-devops#github--azure-pipelines
I have done the following steps.
I have managed to create a simple react app and then got the GitHub + GitHub Actions portion to work no problem.
Now, I want to get GitHub Plus Azure Pipeline to work. So, I deleted the GitHub Actions/Workflow files, and starting over with the CICD setup.
Next, I have enabled Use Azure Pipelines for GitHub in the extension.
Then, as per the steps/pictures outlined in the above microsoft documentation link, I have begun the configure CICD option from the command palette.
Selected the Visual Studio Subscription
Selected the target web app
Now, at this point, as per the linked tutorial, it is supposed to ask me to choose a azure devops organization, so that the azure pipeline YAML file can kick in. This step never happens.
instead, VS Code will proceed to generate a GitHub Actions Workflow just as it did before.
What should I do to the GitHub to Azure Pipeline working from this extension?
Update 1
In case anyone is curious, I have raised a issue on the visual studio community forum. You can find that here
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/1182952/github-azure-pipelines-falls-back-to-github-github.html
As of now, there is an ongoing discussion but no solution yet.
You can try reinstalling Deploy to Azure Extension and enable Use Azure Pipelines for GitHub, and then configure CI/CD option again. If the issue persists, you can report this issue here.
You can create a pipeline directly in your azure devops project. Check out below tutorial
Build, test, and deploy JavaScript and Node.js apps
You will also need to create an Azure Resource Manager service connection to deploy to your azure resource from azure devops pipeline.
Deploy an Azure Web App (Linux)
We have a hosted GitHub Enterprise (GHE) account which needs to integrate with Azure Pipelines. I have installed the Azure Pipelines app from the GitHub Marketplace for our GHE account. The installation of the Azure Pipelines app asks to select an Azure DevOps project and GHE repo to setup the integration. This results in one pipeline being connected to a GHE repo.
But my question is, how to we setup other pipelines within Azure DevOps to use repos in GHE?
Nowhere in the Azure Pipelines interface can I find an option to select a GHE repo. Only public GitHub and GitHub Enterprise (on-prem) server repos. It seems that only the Azure Pipelines app setup wizard allows you to configure a pipeline with a GHE.
I can't imagine that we would have to initiate the setup wizard of the Azure Pipelines app every time we want to connect a pipeline to a GHE repo. That wouldn't even be possible, because most coworkers won't have the permissions to do that. What am I missing?
Remark: I realize that we could create a service connection in Azure DevOps using on a Personal Access Token or username+password. But that's tied to someone's personal account. If that person would leave, the connection is broken. Unless you create a service/dummy account, which doesn't seem very elegant.
If you use GitHub Enterprise, then you can integrate with Azure AD. Then based on group membership you can assign access to repositories with the help of Github Teams.
Then based on those permissions the repos to which somebody has access will be visible during the setup of the Azure DevOps pipeline.
Some useful resources:

https://github.blog/2019-09-24-azure-active-directory-team-synchronization-now-available-with-enterprise-cloud/
https://help.github.com/en/github/setting-up-and-managing-organizations-and-teams/about-teams
https://enterprise.github.com/support
I found out the cause of the issue.
First of all, when you install the Azure Pipelines app from the GitHub marketplace, you first need to make sure that you select your GitHub organisation and not your personal account.
Secondly, during the installation you are taken to Azure DevOps to setup your project. Two different authorization pages will be shown; "Azure Pipelines by Microsoft would like to [...]" and the page for OAuth authorization. As can be seen in below image, there is a small grant button that's easily overlooked. You need to press that button before you press the large green that says "Authorize AzurePipelines"
I am now able to select my GitHub Enterprise repositories when I create a new pipeline in Azure DevOps. I simply choose GitHub as the source where my repository lives.
We are used to running Java development projects, typically using Atlassian products including Stash. We're now trying to use Bluemix Devops Services instead.
One limitation we have found is that you cannot create Pull Requests, meaning we can't review changes to source code before it is merged.
Is this the case? And what do others do for source code review workflow in Bluemix Devops?
At this time no you can not do code reviews through Bluemix. You can however attached the DevOps pipeline to a Github project though.
