    DevOps applications

    DevOps store applications
    The DevOps application uses these related DevOps applications:
    • DevOps Insights application

      Use the DevOps Insights dashboard to manage and track results.

    • DevOps Integrations application

      Use DevOps Integrations application for Azure DevOps integration with DevOps and Jenkins integration with DevOps (starting with version 1.12), and GitLab integration with DevOps (starting with version 1.16).

    DevOps extensions

    Use these extensions to model your pipeline in DevOps:
    ServiceNow DevOps extension for Azure DevOps
    Starting with version 1.12, the ServiceNow DevOps extension on Visual Studio Marketplace is required to integrate your Azure DevOps pipeline with ServiceNow DevOps.
    Jenkins plugin for ServiceNow DevOps
    A Jenkins plugin is provided to enable change acceleration so your orchestration tool can communicate with ServiceNow DevOps and control certain aspects of pipeline executions. Visit the Ancillary Software section on the ServiceNow Store website to download the Jenkins plugin for ServiceNow DevOps.

    DevOps workflow

    DevOps integrates with external planning, coding, and orchestration tools and automatically creates change requests at any stage for deployments that require change control.

    Change approval policies can be used to automate change request approval to continue deployment through the execution pipeline automatically.

    Performance and efficiency in your DevOps environment are monitored and analyzed using the DevOps Insights dashboard. Pipeline executions are visualized on the DevOps Pipeline UI view.

    DevOps Concepts

    These concepts are useful to understand with respect to the DevOps application.

    Pipeline
    A pipeline is a set of steps that begins with planning (plans for the work to be done). An app is the item being worked on, and the work is done via commits to a code repository. Once committed, an orchestration tool picks up the change and sends it through a series of pipeline steps, including production.

    Pipeline steps can include quality checks, like functional, security, load, and behavioral tests as well as deployments, and infrastructure provisioning. The result is fully tested development features delivered as quickly as possible to production.

    Integrations
    The DevOps application integrates with external tools by exposing REST endpoints to receive webhook notifications, or direct REST calls from tools.
    API
    The DevOps application includes a DevOps API that allows integration with any coding, planning, or orchestration tools.
    • Getting started with DevOps

      Get started using the DevOps application to integrate with your existing DevOps toolchain, manage processes, accelerate changes, and view operational and business insights.
