Selecting a deployment automation solution — quick notes
Choosing a deployment solution — quick notes
| Signal in the question | Points to |
|---|---|
| Azure Boards / Artifacts / Repos already in use | Azure Pipelines |
| Everything already in GitHub, low friction wanted | GitHub Actions |
| Resource-owner-enforced approvals, Required template | Azure Pipelines checks |
| On-premises deployment targets, air-gapped | Azure DevOps Server + self-hosted agents |
| Per-minute billing preference | GitHub-hosted runners |
| Concurrency billing | Microsoft-hosted parallel jobs |
Remember: Azure Pipelines builds GitHub repositories natively — "we use GitHub" does not by itself mean Actions.
