Azure DevOps: Automating release pipelines with changes in Atomicwork

Use Atomicwork’s integration with Azure DevOps to bring automated governance to your release pipelines. With this integration, you can configure your DevOps release pipelines to:

• Automatically create a change in Atomicwork when a release is triggered
• Pause deployment until the change is approved
• Resume pipeline execution once the change reaches a specific status

This helps DevOps teams move fast while meeting audit and compliance needs, and gives change managers centralized control over what’s going out and when.

How it works

The Atomicwork-Azure DevOps integration uses a gate in DevOps to manage deployment flow based on the status of a change created in Atomicwork.

Here’s what happens:

1. A release is triggered in Azure DevOps.
2. The gate creates a change in Atomicwork using a pre-configured change template in the designated workspace.
3. DevOps polls Atomicwork at regular intervals to check the status of the change.
4. Once the change reaches the desired status (like Awaiting Implementation), the pipeline gate is cleared and deployment for the release continues.

Permissions

To integrate Atomicwork and Azure DevOps, you will need:

• Owner persmissions in your DevOps organization
• Org admin access in Atomicwork
• A pre-defined workspace and already set up in Atomicwork
