As you know, lots of developers are using Jenkins for their CI/CD pipeline mainly for Java and other OSS developments. But some of such developers also use Visual Studio Team Services called VSTS for .NET development. Of course, we can develop both .NET, Java and other OSS even in VSTS, but many development fields have existing Jenkins pipelines as their assets.
It's difficult to migrate their Jenkins pipeline into VSTS In such a case, but we can easily embed your Jenkins portal into VSTS dashboard. We can collaborate both VSTS and Jenkins using by such a feature. In this article, you can learn how to setup that!
