'Migrating from SVN, can Azure DevOps be leveraged for exchanging files/folders between teams?
At my company, we use SVN for a dual purpose:
- It's our code repository
- It's where we upload and handoff folders to our production team.
Our production team has visibility into certain folders in the SVN repo, with read-only access. We build "packages" for remote software distribution, which are a combination of our internal developed tools and vendor patches or security patches or whatever.
The reason we store these packages in SVN, is for the change tracking. We can tell if any developer makes a change, or at least have an audit trail when/if something goes wrong.
Our company-wide strategy is changing to move to Azure DevOps and we've easily shifted our code repositories there.
For SVN we use TortoiseSVN, where there's a repository browser and Developers can easily upload folders and Operations team can download them.
Can git/Azure DevOps be used for this use-case? Or should we be eyeballing Azure Storage or some other Azure service for this scenario?
The key is that we require the audit trail and change tracking, not just a place to dump files/folders.
Also, some of these "packages" are gigabytes in size, which means it's not feasible to have the entire git repo downloaded all at once.
