I'm migrating Teamcity to Azure Devops, as with our on-prem infrastructure. During that period we'll have both Teamcity and Azure Devops deployment for different infrastructures, but we want to reduce the amount of human intervention. So I was thinking in having either Teamcity triggering the Azure Devops build, or vice Versa. I think it would be easier to implement a powershell script that triggers the build on Azure Devops, instead the other way around because of compatibility issues, or version issues(old version).
Yes, you can use Azure Devops api to trigger the build. You would use this api call with appropriate body:
POST https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/build/builds?api-version=5.0
Reading: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/build/builds/queue?view=azure-devops-rest-5.0
I'm not familiar with Azure Devops powershell modules if any, but they might work as well.

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.
My company's repository hosted on bitbucket custom server which can be only accessed from intranet.
Therefore, I setup a self-host agent for Azure DevOps and this agent could do a git pull and build and release too.
It works and the problem is I have to manually click RUN pipeline to start, and somehow when I pushing commits to my bitbucket custom server it doesn't trigger the Azure DevOps to kick off a build or release.
Is there some other options I could let it automatically triggers the Azure pipeline to run? Webhooks or Hooks?
I afraid Azure devops pipeline cannot be automatically triggered from a bitbucket custom server. For azure devops server cannot communicate to the bitbucket server hosted in your intranet.
Webhooks or Hooks cannot trigger a build in azure devops pipeline either. Azure devops doesnot have this feature yet. There is an open issue about this.
Currently you might have to trigger your pipeline manually, or create an azure function as mentioned in above link to trigger your pipeline automatically.
Below are some documents about azure function you may find helpful:

I am trying to figure out how to import my external test results into Azure DevOps.
This article describes how to publish the results within the same pipeline. But that's not going to help me. We do use Azure pipelines to build and deploy our solution, but the testing is run after that (in a deployed environment), so, outside of the pipeline. We can collect the results (in a Azure DevOps suitable format) and would like to feed it back into Azure DevOps release that did the deployment.
All tips are welcome.
Summary
Recently migrated PB126 apps to PB2017 and changed source control to Azure DevOps Git.
Now, I'd like to integrate Azure DevOps CI/CD Build Pipeline to the app dev life-cycle.
jenkins
I know it's feasible to configure jenkins CI server so it builds PB2017 projects.
Continuous Integration with PowerBuilder 2017, Bonobo Git and Jenkins
My problem here's I can't get it to work on a local Docker container and make it accessible to the outside world (Internet) so Azure DevOps can trigger its build action. Supposedly, it's a Docker for Windows thing which Docker handles differently from the Linux-based Docker.
Azure DevOps Pipeline
As per this link, Azure Pipelines is the CI/CD solution for any language, any platform, any cloud, it says any language, which makes me believe it's feasible to build PB2017 projects using Azure DevOps Pipelines.
The fact is that I'm totally new to CI/CD in terms of implementing it myself. I've experienced it in many projects where I wasn't responsible to implement it. Now I am. I've been on it since a few days now, and I do want it to work.
Any help appreciated.

How to migrate on premises Jenkins jobs to Azure DevOps? Is any plugins available?
I know manually how we can create Azure DevOps pipeline.
There is some available guidance from Microsoft on migrating from Jenkins to YAML builds in Azure Pipelines, but there are no plug-ins or tools that will automate this for you at the moment.
There is, however, a way to trigger Jenkins builds from Azure Pipelines using the Jenkins Integration extension. This may be a good option as you transition.
No, there are no plugins available for that.
