Azure DevOps deployment pipeline

Forward Azure DevOps deployment events to ilert to enrich incidents with change context and speed up resolution.

The Azure DevOps deployment integration enables you to forward release and pipeline deployment events to ilert, creating a richer incident timeline that reflects code pushes, releases, and environment changes. Deployment pipelines organize your Azure DevOps events and connect them to alert sources – offering clear context that accelerates root cause analysis and supports change accountability.
