Is visual Studio TFS is part of the tools to implement DevOps or do we need to use suggested tools like Jira Jenkins etc

Question

Hi,

 I’m new with DevOps and wondering if visual Studio TFS is part of the tools to implement DevOps or do we need to use suggested tools like Jira + Jenkins + etc?

Answer 1

Team foundation server is not really considered to be a DevOps tool. Mainly because it is a Microsoft product (not open source).  The main requirement to qualify as a DevOps tool is being open source. But do note, it's not a hard and soft rule for a tool to be open source. Its the license and ease of use which really matters.

However, you can use it in your DevOps lifecycle because it provides similar functionality today
