Azure DevOps is moving some auth flows to Entra token issuance this summer, so token payloads will stop being readable by clients.

The exact mechanism isn’t specified (JWE would be my guess), but anything decoding tokens to read claims like UPN or tenant ID will break — no graceful degradation.

Most likely to hit internal tooling and scripts, but worth a check either way.

Supported path: Azure DevOps REST APIs for user and org data.

Authentication Tokens Are Not a Data Contract - Azure DevOps Blog

Authentication tokens exist to answer one question: is this caller authorized to do this? They are not intended to be a stable data interface, a schema you can depend on, or an input into application logic. If your application decodes tokens and reads claims from them, this is an important heads-up. Token Claims Were Never […]

As of April 24, GitHub will use interaction data (inputs, outputs, code snippets, context) from Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ users to train its AI models, unless you opt out or previously opted out of data collection for product improvements.

Business and Enterprise users aren’t affected. You can toggle this off or on in Settings → Privacy.

Got this awesome umbrella as swag at #ExpertsLive in Leipzig a few weeks ago, and it’s definitely been extremely useful during the past couple of days! 🌧️ #ExpertsLiveDE

@hmiron 💯!

@hmiron Agreed, Kubernetes has a learning curve, but the payoff in control and portability is substantial. On top of that, learning K8s can be quite satisfying (imho). Running a cluster still costs money if you don’t have the hardware yourself but you’re still not locked into one specific ecosystem. If your provider is getting expensive you can spin up a cluster elsewhere and redeploy. That exit strategy alone is worth a lot.

Hello Mastodon! Thanks for letting me in! As for a short introduction: I'm a cloud architect from Europe who likes thinking about IaC, solutions architecture, platform engineering, and CI/CD. Looking forward to good discussions with anyone who's also curious about this stuff.

Feel free to say hi!
