Create a connection to Azure DevOps

You can use the AWS Management Console or the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to create a connection to a repository hosted on Azure DevOps.

Before you begin:

  • You must have already created an account with Azure DevOps.

  • You must have already created a project and Azure repository on the Azure DevOps portal. Your account must have administrator access to the repository.

    Note

    You can create connections to an Azure DevOps repository. Installed (on a host) Azure provider types, such as Azure Cloud Hosting, are not supported. See AWS CodeConnections supported providers and versions.

Note

Connections only provide access to repositories owned by the account that was used to create the connection.

Create a connection to Azure DevOps (console)

You can use the console to create a connection to Azure DevOps.

Note

Beginning July 1, 2024, the console creates connections with codeconnections in the resource ARN. Resources with both service prefixes will continue to display in the console.

Step 1: Create your connection

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console, and open the AWS Developer Tools console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/codesuite/settings/connections.

  2. Choose Settings > Connections, and then choose Create connection.

  3. To create a connection to an Azure DevOps repository, under Select a provider, choose Azure DevOps. In Connection name, enter the name for the connection that you want to create. Choose Connect to Azure DevOps, and proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Connect to Azure DevOps

  1. On the Connect to Azure DevOps settings page, your connection name displays.

  2. If the login page for Microsoft displays, log in with your credentials and then choose to continue.

    You may need to grant permissions if this is your first time creating a connection to Azure DevOps from AWS Management Console.

  3. Choose Accept.

  4. On the connection page, the connection ID for your new installation is displayed.

  5. Choose Connect to establish the connection. The created connection displays in the connections list and is now in available status and ready to use.

Create a connection to Azure DevOps (CLI)

You can use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to create a connection.

To do this, use the create-connection command.

Important

A connection created through the AWS CLI or AWS CloudFormation is in PENDING status by default. After you create a connection with the CLI or AWS CloudFormation, use the console to edit the connection to make its status AVAILABLE.

To create a connection to Azure DevOps

  1. Open a terminal (Linux, macOS, or Unix) or command prompt (Windows). Use the AWS CLI to run the create-connection command, specifying the --provider-type and --connection-name for your connection. In this example, the third-party provider name is AzureDevOps and the specified connection name is MyConnection.

    aws codeconnections create-connection --provider-type AzureDevOps --connection-name MyConnection

    If successful, this command returns the connection ARN information similar to the following.

    {
    "ConnectionArn": "arn:aws:codeconnections:us-west-2:account_id:connection/aEXAMPLE-8aad-4d5d-8878-dfcab0bc441f"
}

  2. Use the console to complete the connection. For more information, see Update a pending connection.
