Continuous, Smooth, and High-Quality Delivery
Alibaba Cloud DevOps is built on Alibaba Group’s years of advanced management philosophies and engineering best practices. It serves over 100,000 enterprises and more than one million developers worldwide. Alibaba Cloud DevOps provides integrated modules—including code management, CI/CD pipelines, and artifact repositories—empowering R&D teams to achieve both development agility and organizational agility through cloud-native technologies and modern software delivery practices. This “dual-agility” approach enables enterprises to significantly multiply their R&D efficiency and accelerate innovation.
Codeup
Comprehensive code hosting, branch management, and code review capabilities safeguard your enterprise’s code assets, enabling secure, stable, and efficient R&D operations.
Flow
An automated delivery pipeline tool offering flexible and user-friendly continuous integration, continuous validation, and continuous deployment features—helping teams deliver business value with high quality and speed across the entire development-to-production lifecycle.
Packages
Enterprise-grade private repositories supporting package managers like Maven, Gradle, and NPM. These repositories help developers centrally manage dependencies, build artifacts (binaries), and critical metadata throughout the development, build, and delivery processes.
Key Advantages
-
Ready-to-Use, No Setup or Maintenance Required
Alibaba Cloud DevOps covers core R&D workflows—code management, pipelines, and artifact repositories—out of the box. It’s easy to adopt and includes generous free-tier resources:
● Free usage quotas for startups and individual developers
● Up to 5 free user licenses -
Enterprise-Grade Data Security
● Code repositories use triple-replica disaster recovery and support scheduled automatic backups.
● Full support for operating entirely within your enterprise VPC—coding, building, and deployment all occur inside your private network.
● Audit logs track all user activities for compliance and traceability. -
Seamless Integration with Alibaba Cloud Services
Tightly integrated with Alibaba Cloud products such as ECS, ACK, OSS, and SAE. Pipeline configurations for building and deploying applications are simple, intuitive, and highly reliable.
-
Enterprise Identity Integration
Supports integration with enterprise identity providers including Alibaba Cloud RAM, DingTalk, Lark, SAML-based single sign-on (SSO) and SCIM account synchronization, achieving centralized account management.
-
Standardized Development Workflows
Enforce branch protection rules and push policies. Code reviews and automated code scanning ensure quality control for every code change.
-
Multi-Language & Multi-Architecture Build Environments
Supports major programming languages (Java, Python, Go, Node.js, etc.), CPU architectures (AMD64 and ARM64), and operating systems (Linux, Windows, macOS).
Use Cases
Alibaba Cloud DevOps empowers development teams in the following scenarios:
● Team Member and Permission Management: Role-based access control with centralized authentication ensures secure, auditable access for developers.
● Code Repository Hosting and Development Workflow Governance: Code is hosted on Git platforms with standardized branching and mandatory code reviews via merge requests to ensure quality.
● Continuous Building and Delivery of Applications: CI/CD pipelines automatically build, test, and deploy applications upon code changes, using blue-green or rolling updates for reliability.
● Code Standardization and Security Scanning: Static analysis enforces coding standards, while SAST/SCA tools scan for security vulnerabilities and risky dependencies. These checks serve as quality gates to block unsafe code.
Collaboration Modes
Alibaba Cloud DevOps offers two usage modes with distinct features and licensing models.
Personal Mode
Ideal for early-stage startups and individual developers:
● Up to 5 free user accounts
● Includes a baseline allocation of free R&D resources
Enterprise Collaboration Mode
Designed for mature enterprise R&D teams prioritizing governance and security:
● Integrates with enterprise identity systems and supports SSO
● Supports end-to-end operations within your enterprise VPC (code management, builds, deployments)
● Features include code backup, IP allowlists, and audit logging
Pricing
