A public status page, run from Azure DevOps
Status Portal brings incident management and a branded public status page right into Azure DevOps. Post incidents, schedule maintenance windows, and notify subscribers — all from your existing DevOps workflow, with no separate tool to log into.
Installs from the Azure DevOps Marketplace · your customers see a branded public status page, no login required.
Why Status Portal?
When something breaks, customers want to know. Tell them before they have to ask.
During an incident or a maintenance window, the difference between a calm customer and an angry one is usually a single thing: clear, timely communication. Most teams improvise it — a scramble of emails, a banner someone forgets to take down, a support queue that fills up with the same question. Status Portal gives you a professional, branded public status page and a proper incident-communication workflow, managed directly from Azure DevOps. Post an update once and your subscribers are notified automatically, your public page reflects the change, and every step is recorded in an audit trail you can review afterwards.

Features
Everything you need to communicate service health
A complete incident-communication hub — built to live inside the Azure DevOps your team already works in.

- Planned work communicated before it starts
