Issue creating and Azure deployment Pipeline
Your observation is valid, accessing https://dev.azure.com will redirect you to https://portal.azure.com by default.
To sign into an Azure DevOps Account, you’ll need to include the organisation name to the URL (https://dev.azure.com/<organization>) and also have at least read permission to organisation or at project level.
A quick way to know all the Azure DevOps organisations you have been given access to is visiting https://aex.dev.azure.com/.
If your employer has an Azure DevOps account, as part of the onboarding process, I would expect you to be given access to the organisation/project you might work with and if access is given an invite will normally be sent to your email. If Azure DevOps services have not been used before, you can sign up and explore it.
Azure DevOps Service is not Azure portal. While the Azure portal is for managing cloud resources, Azure DevOps Services is for the software development lifecycle, its services include Azure Repos (version control), Azure Pipelines (CI/CD pipelines), Azure board, and other products mentioned here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/devops/.
You read the document to grab Azure Pipeline concepts and create your first pipeline:

Hope this helps.
