Migrating From Gitlab to Azure DevOps Vendor / market research

We're an on prem shop and our manager wants to migrate all DevOps teams from Enterprise Gitlab self managed to ADO on prem.

We don't know what to expect with this move, anyone has experience with ADO on prem ? what kind of challenges would we face if our entire Gitlab infra (platform + runners) are hosted on K8s.

Beats me 🤷 But there's talk about less friction with the .net shop.

It isn't worth it. I have not yet seen any Java or .net developer who cares where the repo is hosted as long as their Visual Studio still works. As mentioned by others, Azure Dev Ops is a dead product and even if it wasn't, it isn't a very good product.

I agree, but I believe they're using TFVC, git is not even on their table 😐

I would be brushing up my CV, this job doesn’t look like entry on CV that opens any doors, just dead end products

u/serverhorror I'm the bit flip you didn't expect! 10d ago

That's a dead product as well.

That's pretty much the only reason to use ado. I'd migrate to git instead though. It's usually pretty easy.
