We have been using scheduled backups to ensure that we always have backups in place in case something goes wrong. Because we are moving to new hardware anyways, we will not bother setting up a separate pre-production environment to do our dry run. Instead, we will use that new hardware to do a dry run first, and then we will wipe everything clean and use it again for the production upgrade.

Assuming that all goes smoothly, the production upgrade steps will be quite similar. There the steps will be:. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported. We don't recommend use of search or reporting features for this configuration. When you scale up a single server, the server can handle a larger number of users and an increased use of automated build, test, or release. A scaled-up server can also use search or reporting features. For example, increasing RAM to 8 GB should enable a single-server deployment to scale up to users.

This configuration isn't recommended for a production server that's used by more than one person. If you plan to use build, test, or release automation extensively, we recommend that you use higher-spec application and data tiers to avoid performance issues. For example, a team of might use a multiple-server deployment that is more in line with the recommendations for a team of to 2, users.

We also recommend that you monitor your automated processes to ensure that they are efficient. For example, retrieve data from source control incrementally during builds whenever possible instead of fully refreshing with each build. Except for very small teams that have extremely limited use of these features, we don't recommend installing build, test, or release agents on your Azure DevOps Server or TFS application tiers.

If you plan to use Code Search, we recommend that you set up a separate server for Code Search. For more information, see the hardware requirements for Code Search. If you plan to use reporting features, we recommend that you set up a separate server for your warehouse database and SQL Server Analysis Services cube. Another option is to use a higher-spec data tier. If you plan to use SharePoint integration, we recommend that you set up a separate server for your SharePoint instance or that you use a higher-spec application tier.

If you want to guarantee high availability, consider using multiple application tiers behind a load balancer and multiple SQL Server instances.

Usually, it makes sense to run the build service on a separate machine from the application tier. Hardware requirements for the build service are the same as the operating system on which it's running. However, you can optimize build service performance by tailoring the hardware specs of your build machine to the types of builds your team will use.

Windows Server version isn't supported. Although you can install Azure DevOps Server on client operating systems, we don't recommend client operating system installation except for evaluation purposes or personal use. Client operating systems have the following restrictions:. Ask a question.
