- Migrate repositories from Azure DevOps to GitHub Enterprise Server
- Migrate repositories from GitLab to GitHub Enterprise Server
Better Pipeline Migration to GitHub Actions with Hummingbird AI-Generated Pull Requests
Use Opsera’s Hummingbird AI to facilitate pipeline migrations, specifically from Jenkins and Bamboo to GitHub Actions (GHA).
Upon the successful completion of a migration, an AI-generated pull request will be automatically created. Upon successful completion of a migration, users will observe the generation of pull requests by both GitHub and Opsera platforms.
- Auto-generates pull requests to migrate pipelines from Jenkins and Bamboo to GitHub Actions
- Handles pipelines written in JavaScript which other migration tools cannot
- Up to 90-95% accuracy compared to 25-35% offered by GitHub’s native utilities
Please note that only organizations with Hummingbird AI entitlement will have access to these AI-generated pull requests.
Workflow Enhancements for Developer Experience and Productivity

Opsera introduces a new end-to-end flow for the creation of GitHub Copilot reports. The new wizard flow provides users with a guided step-by-step process for creating GitHub Copilot reports. This new flow includes the registration of the GitHub App for Insights tool and seamlessly guides users to the GitHub Copilot dashboard. For more info, read here.
- Easier and faster setup with a step-by-step wizard
- Provides insights into copilot usage, license usage, code acceptance, etc.
- Coming soon: Ability to see developer activity, time to PR, cycle time etc. which can help differentiate Copilot users from non-Copilot users
New Opsera Unified DevOps platform Homepage
Opsera has introduced new widgets on the homepage to enhance user experience and provide quick access to workflow details. The two new widgets, Pipeline Shortcuts and Task Shortcuts, offer users valuable insights into their pipeline activities, tasks, and organization workflows.
The widget allows users to view information on the total workflows at a glance. Users can easily access workflows created by them as well as tasks they are following. In addition to individual task and pipeline insights, the new widgets also display the organization’s workflows count for specific types. For more info, read here.
- Shows more information like updates, pipeline status, number of Copilot users etc.
- Provides a richer experience for managers who oversee multiple teams, organizations, and pipelines
Use Docker CLI in Pipeline Workflows for Security Scanning Tools
When incorporating security scanning tools into your Opsera pipelines, users can add the Docker CLI step to integrate image scanning seamlessly. By leveraging the Docker CLI step, users can initiate the scanning process on the images built within the pipeline, allowing for comprehensive security checks before deployment. The supported scanning tools are Grype, Wiz, and Twistlock.
New Speedscale Integration for Seamless Automation and Testing
Opsera’s new Speedscale integration enables seamless automation of testing and deployment processes within your workflow. With Speedscale, you can automate the testing of your microservices within your CI/CD pipeline, catching potential issues early in the development process.
