I am looking to deploy a internal Intranet site and an external internet site and i would like to try and use Azure Web Apps to do this. The intranet should only be accessible from internal networks however the public facing website will obviously need to be accessible from anywhere. At the moment it is looking like i would need to deploy an App Service Environment and host the intranet site in there but it would be nice if i could then create a separate app and host that from within the same ASE. I suspect i could do it if i put a web application gateway on the network with a public IP but i want to try and avoid that as it is additional management and overhead. How have others done this? Do you just host Web Apps using multiple app service plans?
Visual Studio Sign In Issues (Restricted IE)
Hi, Does anyone know how to get around the VS sign in issue when your organisation restrict the use of Internet Explorer for external sites? I get a blank screen as connection is blocked. Changing the default brower in VS doesnt seem to effect the sign page either. Thanks
Free Extension: Generate AI Development Prompts from Azure DevOps Work Items — Verity Framework
Hi Azure DevOps community, I wanted to share a free extension we just published to the Visual Studio Marketplace: the Verity Framework ADO Extension. **What it does** It adds a "Verity Prompt" tab to your work items. When you populate five custom fields on a User Story or Delivery Item, the extension generates a structured prompt ready to paste into Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot Workspace. The five fields: - VF Intent — the problem and who experiences it - VF Value — the expected outcome - VF Appetite — time/resource ceiling (not an estimate) - VF Trust Criteria — Gate 2 hardening requirements - VF Failure Scope — Narrow / Moderate / Broad / Systemic **Why it matters** Most engineers using AI tools start from a blank context or a vague task description. The extension carries the team's planning judgment — including production risk level and hardening requirements — directly into the implementation context. It also includes field validation that flags vague Trust Criteria, incorrectly formatted Appetite values, and solution-framed Intent statements before generating the prompt. **Setup** About 20 minutes. You add five custom fields to your existing User Story work item type (no new work item type required). Full instructions are in the extension tab. **Install** Search "Verity Framework" on the Visual Studio Marketplace or visit idearoost.com/verity for the full framework context. Free. No subscription required. Happy to answer questions about the field definitions or the setup process. — Jacques Steward, IdeaRoost
How to create a active bugs trend chart
Hi everybody! I'd like to create a Active bug trends, like this: However, everytime that I try to create this, I always have this result My chart always sum the quantity of bugs, not the trend When I try to setup my chart, I have this screen Note that I have the option Count. My question is: How to create a active bug trend chart? I try this documentation but, no success: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/backlogs/manage-bugs?view=azure-devops#monitor-bug-status-assignments-and-trends Thanks for Advice MauricioDevOps Wiki: How to enable download of attachment
Hello, I do have a git based wiki in ADO with the following structure: | ---- REAGME.md | ---- .attachments | ---- config.xml Within README.md I want to reference config.xml in a way that: 1. enforces the file to be downloaded and not opened 2. ensures a meaningful file name proposal for the download For "common" markdown this would be something like: ... [Config](./.attachments/config.xml?download=true&name=config.xml) ... unfortunately ADO performs some URL-encoding to this relative link and tries to find a file named: - ./attachments/config.xml%3Fdownload%3Dtrue%26name%3Dconfig.xml This file cannot be found (why should it, such a file does not exist) My questions are: 1. How to properly format the relative link in ADO markdown to make the attachment downloadable 2. How to properly format the relative link in ADO markdown to define the attachments name Exclusion: - The answer "Use an absolute link like https://..../" is not an option as no-one will ever be able to maintain this across multiple branches Thank you in advance 😉
Is it possible to define and visualize new metrics (e.g. ratios) in dashboard widgets in Azure DevOp
I am creating some Azure DevOps Dashboard visuals. Some of the metrics I want to create do not seem to be included in the built in Azure DevOps widgets. As two particular examples: (i) I am using a Velocity widget. But instead of showing the sum of Story Points planned and completed, I just want to show the ratio completed/planned for each iteration (i.e a small change, that does not seem to be supported by the Configure Widget options)https://i.stack.imgur.com/0BHVL.png (ii) I want to show the ratio (Count of WorkItems with priority 1 or 2) / Count of all WorkItems The "Chart for Work Items" widget provides something close, allowing a visual of a chosen type (Bar, Pie etc) showing the Count or Sum of a field from a query, grouped by another field. But this doesnt allow for a ratio to be calculated. I cannot find any other widget type (built in, or within the Marketplace) that allows calculation of such ratios. I am sure that there is a way to define brand new widgets, to add to the marketplace, but that is more than I would want to undertake. Also I know that it is possible to pull data from DevOps into a tool like PowerBI, but I would prefer to stay in DevOps if possible. Is there something I am missing, where in DevOps it is possible to define/visualize new metrics like ratios?Azure Architecture Best Practices for Enterprise Applications
As businesses continue to modernize their IT infrastructure, Microsoft Azure has become one of the leading cloud platforms for building enterprise-grade applications. Organizations of all sizes rely on Azure to improve scalability, strengthen security, reduce operational costs, and accelerate digital transformation. However, simply moving an application to the cloud does not guarantee success. A well-designed Azure architecture is the foundation of a secure, reliable, and high-performing enterprise application. https://dellenny.com/azure-architecture-best-practices-for-enterprise-applications/
