Microsoft this week added a bevy of tools to its portfolio that infuses generative artificial intelligence (AI) into DevOps workflows.

Unveiled at the Microsoft Build 2024 conference, those additions include GitHub Copilot for Azure which enables DevOps teams to build, troubleshoot and deploy applications on the Microsoft Azure cloud using a natural language interface.

GitHub Copilot for Azure is one of the multiple extensions that Microsoft and third-party partners are providing to, for example, customize tools from Docker, Inc. and Sentry. Microsoft is also embedding its Copilot into Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 development tools.
