Last updated
Octopus Deploy integrates with Azure DevOps and Team Foundation Server to provide for a full automated build and deployment pipeline. This section provides information about how to integrate Octopus Deploy and the various versions of Microsoft's build server.
Supported Azure DevOps/TFS Versions
Depending on the version of Azure DevOps/TFS you are using, the recommended approach for a successful integration with Octopus may vary. Use the below chart to pick the right approach for your build server version.
| Version | Recommended approach | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Azure DevOps | Octopus Extension for TFS and Azure DevOps | This is the hosted version of TFS. Our integration will always aim to be compatible with this offer, along with the latest TFS on-premise solution. |
| TFS 2015 Update 2 and newer | Octopus Extension for TFS and Azure DevOps | While TFS 2015 is supported (from update 2 upwards), it is highly recommended to upgrade to TFS 2017 to get the latest versions of the extension with all the new features and bug fixes. |
| TFS 2013 and older | Octopack & Octo.exe | These versions of TFS had XAML-based builds, reason why the approaches required a bit more manual work than with more recent TFS versions. |
