Azure DevOps - Release Calendar?

I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is a Release Calendar widget/view in Azure DevOps Services. Our support team simply wants to see our production releases (successful release pipeline runs) on a calendar so they know when updates to our service has happened.

Note: I looked through the existing widgets and marketplace but nothing stood out so asking here before we evaluate building it.

Update: We presently don't use Boards or Repos in Azure DevOps. We only use Pipelines so looking for a solution that plays nice with just that but appreciate sharing the other options.

You can use Release Pipeline Overview widget without install anything in marketplace. enter image description here

After you select one release pipeline, this widget will show the names and status in the specific pipeline like below. enter image description here enter image description here

Then in your release pipeline, click Options and find the Release name format. enter image description here

Change the Release name format and add the specifice predefined variable to it. enter image description here

This variable will display the current date in you release name. Then you can get the release calendar in the Release pipeline overview widger like below. enter image description here

Addition

You can refer to here to get more information about pre-defined variable to specify the format mask. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/release/index?view=azure-devops#how-do-i-manage-the-names-for-new-releases

I believe you can leverage the new Portfolio Plans beta stuff to accomplish this.
