Having a market share of 8.81 % and competing with other version control platforms, like GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab, Azure DevOps can already boast of more than 700M Azure users. That’s not surprising, as the service offers a variety of things from planning to development and operations. Thus, containing critical DevOps information, Azure DevOps becomes a critical hub of your data. So, in this case, is the question “Why back up Azure DevOps” the correct one?

We are so proud to announce that GitProtect Backup and Disaster Recovery for Azure DevOps is here! The 1.8.5 release also brings a few improvements – performance, UX, and more – and small fixes. Let’s dig into more details.

Choosing S3 storage like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure Blob Storage is a strategic choice. Especially as data volumes grow fast and disaster recovery strategies require more focus. Such an investment may reduce operational overhead and optimize costs. Then, new technical and economic perspectives follow. 99% of IT decision-makers state they have a backup strategy. And yet, 26% of them couldn’t fully restore their data when recovering from backups (according to a survey of Apricorn from 2022).

Are you in between personal and work projects or maybe just managing multiple professional accounts from a single machine?

Security practices in DevOps have evolved from being a minor concern to one of the main focus points, which resulted in the DevSecOps movement. It’s about “shifting security to the left” in the software development lifecycle – so the security measures are a fundamental component. Traditionally, security management was moved to the final stages of developing software, and it has proven its ineffectiveness in dealing with the challenges of modern software projects.

In today’s software development, Git usually stands as a “go-to” for DevOps projects. It allows teams of developers to collaborate and contribute on non-linear projects, go back to any point in time and undo, as well as, redo changes whenever they need. In this article, we will go over important commands to help you navigate your commit history.

DevOps practices have significantly transformed the software industry, leading to faster release cycles and more streamlined workflows. The enduring presence of the DevOps model is undeniable, and its influence on modern development methodologies is profound. However, this accelerated pace introduces challenges, particularly regarding DevOps security.

Cloud security refers to technologies, best practices, and safety guidelines that help to protect your data from human errors, insider and security threats. Therefore, it naturally covers a wide range of procedures, which are aimed at securing systems from data breaches, data loss, unauthorized access, and other cybersecurity-related risks that are growing from year to year.
