Operational limits when using Azure DevOps

Azure DevOps is the SaaS(Software-as-a-Service) version of Azure DevOps Server(the on-premise alternative). As with most SaaS solutions, certain limits apply. Some are operational limits placed on work tracking operations and some are object limits. In addition to the specified hard limits on specific objects, some practical limits apply.

All of these limits are documented. but only operational limits like pipeline usage and top commands can be monitored directly in Azure DevOps through the Usage tab. However, object limits—such as the number of projects, dashboards, or teams—have not been traceable so far.

With the latest update you can now see the object limits both at the project level:

  • Go to Project Settings and scroll down on the Overview tab:


As at the organizational level:

  • Go to Organization Settings and scroll down on the Overview tab:

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t
