Using the Azure DevOps Demo Generator

  1. Browse to the Azure DevOps Demo Generator site by click the link, or copy https://azuredevopsdemogenerator.azurewebsites.net/ into your browser's URL field.

  2. Click Sign In and provide the Microsoft or Azure AD account credentials associated with an organization in Azure DevOps Services. If you don't have an organization, click on Get Started for Free to create one and then log in with your credentials.

  1. After you sign in, select Accept to grant the Demo Generator permissions to access your Azure DevOps account.

  2. Select the organization you will use to host the project created by the Azure DevOps Demo Generator. (You may have multiple accounts of which you are a member, and which are associated with your login, so choose carefully.) Provide a name for your project (such as "MyProjectDemo" ) that you and other contributors can use to identify it as a demo project.

Lastly, select the demo project template you want to provision by clicking the Choose Template button.

The default template is SmartHotel360, which contains complete ASP.NET 2 web mobile and desktop business apps for a hotel, and can be deployed using Docker containers. Other templates include MyHealthClinic, which defines a team project for an ASP.NET Core app that deploys to Azure App Service; PartsUnlimited, which defines an ASP.NET app with customized CI/CD pipelines; and MyShuttle, which defines a Java app and Azure App service deployment.

All four templates provide fictional Azure DevOps users and pre-populated Agile planning and tracking work items and data, along with source code in an Azure Repos Git repo, as well as access to Azure Pipelines.

  1. Some templates may require additional extensions to be installed to your organization. The demo generation process checks to see if these extensions are already installed. If the extension is already installed, a green check will be displayed in front of the extension name. If the extension is not installed, select the empty check boxes to install the extension(s) to your account. When ready, click on Create Project button.

    If you want to manually install the extensions, click on the provided link for a specific extension, which takes you to the extension's page on Azure DevOps Marketplace. From there, you can install the extension.

  2. Your project may take a couple of minutes for the Demo Generator to provision. When it completes, you will be provided with a link to the demo project.

You must provide your own information such as URLs, logins, password, and others for the configuration of project endpoints that use Azure resources.
