A first Beta version of this will launch next week.
From next release on, you will be able to create Building Block Definitions that trigger your Azure DevOps Pipeline.
Please note that this is just a first Beta version. Some issues might occur and one gap we are aware of is that we only do Personal Access Token authentication for now.
In a later stage we also want to add Service Principal support (with Workload Identitiy Federation) but as we are currently doing a lot of work around WIF for Building Block runners this needs to wait a little.
If you have any feedback on the new feature let us know right here!

We are currently looking into this. What would be the preferred method of authentication with meshStack & Azure DevOps?

Jelle den Burger The legacy authentication would use PATs. However, service principals or manged identities are recommended:
Since you already support Workfload Identity Federation for Azure Service Principals, I would absolutely go for this. ❤️
And if you enable the same authentication (Workfload Identity Federation) to checkout Azure Devops Git Repos, this would be great!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you

Thomas Abbe: Thanks for the answer, Thomas! We will take this into consideration when building out the feature :-)

Thank you for your feature request! I assume this should work similarly to our GitHub Action Workflow triggering where a pipeline gets executed in Azure DevOps?

Jelle den Burger Yes exactly!
