Enov8 Release Sync for Azure DevOps
The Enov8 Release Sync for Azure DevOps lets your pipelines send version and/or status updates for a specific system in a chosen environment directly into Enov8.
It removes manual updates, keeping Enov8 records current after every deployment. Works with YAML pipelines or the Pipeline UI (Classic editor) and uses Service Connections for secure, reusable credentials.
Key Features
- 🔗 Direct pipeline → Enov8: Update a system’s version and/or status in an environment.
- 🚀 Automated on deploy: Push updates on every run.
- 🔐 Secure Service Connection: Store Ecosystem URL, App ID, App Key once; reuse across pipelines.
- ⚙️ YAML or Pipeline UI: Use whichever fits your team’s workflow.
Prerequisites
Before using this extension, you need:
- An active Azure DevOps organisation.
- An Enov8 Ecosystem URL, App ID, and App Key.

How to Use in a Pipeline
YAML Pipeline Example
trigger:
- master

Adding the Task via the Pipeline UI

- Open your pipeline in the Azure DevOps editor.
- In the Tasks panel (right-hand side), search for
"Enov8".
- Select Enov8 Release Sync for Azure DevOps from the results.
- Fill in the required inputs:
- Service Connection — Select the Enov8 service connection you created earlier.
- System — Name of the system you want to update in Enov8.
- Environment — The environment to update.
