It has been on life support for a long time AFAIK. I designed Visual Studio Online (the first launch of AzDO) - and every engineer, PM, and executive I worked with is either in leadership at GitHub or retired.
It feels clear from an outside perspective that all the work on AzDO Pipelines has shifted to focus on GitHub Actions and Actions is now like 3 or 4 versions ahead. Especially because the public Issue trackers for some of AzDO Pipelines "Roadmap" are still up (on GitHub, naturally) and haven't been updated since ~2020.
I wish Microsoft would just announce AzDO's time of death and save companies increasingly crazy AzDO blinders and/or weird mixes of GitHub and AzDO as GitHub-only is clearly the present/future.
Yeah feels like they should be able to converge actions and pipelines.
Keeping some separation between AzDo itself and GH also requires some balancing. But so far I’m pretty sure I could never sell our enterprise on a shift to GH. Simply not enough jira-esque features in GH with complex workflows, time reporting etc so I can’t see them doing the bigger GH/AzDo merger.
