See the Azure DevOps blog for more details. Connectivity to Microsoft online services like Azure Storage, Azure SQL Database, Dynamics 365, and now Azure DevOps is through the Microsoft peering configuration of ExpressRoute circuits. Route filters are a way to consume a subset of supported services through Microsoft peering. Using route filters, you can enable services you want to consume through your circuit's Microsoft peering. Azure DevOps is included in the new Azure Global Services route filter with a BGP community value of 12076:5050. For more information, see the ExpressRoute documentation for Configuring route filters for Microsoft peering. https://azure.microsoft.com/services/devops/ http://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/devops/2018/10/23/expressroute-for-azure-devops/
