Eric van Wijk introduces the new Azure DevOps service connection, which lets pipelines authenticate to Azure DevOps using a Microsoft Entra workload identity (service principal or managed identity) instead of PATs or build session tokens, and shows where and how to use it across YAML, tasks, and scripts.

Eric van Wijk announces the deprecation and planned retirement of the Azure DevOps OIDC issuer used by Workload Identity Federation (WIF) service connections, and explains what Azure Pipelines users need to do to move existing connections to the Microsoft Entra issuer before the 2027 deadline.
