If you are required to use a Microsoft tool is Azure DevOps now a better choice? Our Azure hosted instance rarely (if ever) has had an outage that effects our ability to work.

As someone who maintained a product that was, until recently, on Azure DevOps, stay away. Like, really really far away. There's nothing positive I can say about it.

The worry I would have is, is anybody at MS still working on it? It is barely updated anymore:

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates?filters=%5B%22Azur...

That's not necessarily a bad thing for stability, but long-term I would not be surprised if it gets EOL-ed, or radically shrunk to just a basic Git mirroring service.

		I'm not sure that link is a fair representation of the updates. This has more detail https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/azure/devops/release-notes... Discussion about it going ELO has been around since 2020-ish. But that is a worry i agree. I get the feeling there is a long tail of old-school corps (migrated from the TFS days) that will keep the lights on. And for some orgs you just need "good enough" CI/CD pipelines that are reliable. Maybe I'm a weirdo, but i find the kanban/sprint board pretty usable as well.
