Question

In Azure DevOps, I have multiple organizations with in the same Azure subscription. Build orchestration pipelines, related repos spread across the organizations, how to avoid duplicate service connections?

Scenario1 -> How to checkout code from organization A repo, for a pipeline created in organization B. Is there any option available to share repo service connection to other organization ?

Scenario 2 -> Service connection created to access SonarQube from Org A, how to use the same service connection in one of the pipeline running in Org B ?

Answer 1

Scenario1 -> How to checkout code from organization A repo, for a pipeline created in organization B. Is there any option available to share repo service connection to other organization ?

The answer is yes.

You could create a service connection:

New service connection-> Other Git-> Git repository URL:

Type the git repository URL for another repos with Password/Token (optional).

However, you could not share the repo service connection to other organization.

Scenario 2 -> Service connection created to access SonarQube from Org A, how to use the same service connection in one of the pipeline running in Org B ? Just as the second question in your first question, we could not use the same service connection in one of the pipeline.

According to the document Manage service connections:

The service connection is an organization asset, and it cannot share assets with other organization. We have to create a new service connection for the Org B.
