Difference between Team Foundation Server and Team Services

Question

What is the difference between Microsoft Team Foundation Server and Microsoft Team Services?

Are Team Services also made for continuous integration and can it be used together with a self hosted git service?

Hope this is not off topic, thank a lot if some one could clearify this!

Answer 1

They are basically the same product, except one is cloud-hosted by Microsoft and the other is an on-premise installation.

VSTS gets features first, because it's on a 3-week release cycle. TFS is on the same release/update timeframe as Visual Studio for the most part.

The continuous integration piece allows you to use TFVC, TFS/VSTS-hosted Git, GitHub, Subversion (VSTS only at the moment), or any external Git provider.
