Integrations in DevOps Loop
DevOps Loop provides a set of integrations to extend the platform’s capabilities and connect your loops to external systems and intelligent tools. These integrations enable you to automate tasks, enhance productivity, and interact with loop resources from outside the DevOps Loop interface.
AI provider integration for Loop Genie - Tech Preview
You can configure AI providers such as OpenAI, AZURE OpenAI, Claude Desktop, Gemini, IBM watsonx, and Ollama with DevOps Loop. Configuring any one of these providers activates Loop Genie for your environment. Only one provider can be active at a time.
Configuring Ollama integration
You can configure the Ollama integration in HCL DevOps Loop to connect to the provider and use Loop Genie services.

Getting Started
HCL DevOps Loop is a platform designed to support the full DevOps lifecycle. The Getting Started section introduces key concepts and walks through the initial steps to help new users begin working with the platform.
Administration
This section provides information on administration, installation, configuration, and integrations and teamspace management.
- Configuration of external databases for the capabilities in DevOps Loop
  DevOps Loop capabilities use databases to store configuration data, execution results, and operational information. In the default configuration, some capabilities deploy internal databases as part of the Helm installation. However, you can configure the capabilities to use external databases that are managed outside the Kubernetes cluster.
- Installation of DevOps Loop
  To get started working with HCL DevOps Loop, you must first install the platform in your environment.
- License management and user administration
  After you install DevOps Loop, you must manage licenses, users, and authentication to control access to platform resources.
- Backup and restoration of DevOps Loop
  You must back up HCL DevOps Loop data before you uninstall the current version of DevOps Loop. You must back up the data to avoid data loss or inaccessibility.
- Private CA and self-signed certificate support
  A private Certificate Authority (CA) is an organization-specific service that issues and manages digital certificates for use within an enterprise’s private network. These certificates secure communication between internal applications and services.
- Upgrading DevOps Loop
  After you complete the required backup and pre-upgrade tasks, you can upgrade DevOps Loop to a newer version.
- Integrations in DevOps Loop
  DevOps Loop provides a set of integrations to extend the platform’s capabilities and connect your loops to external systems and intelligent tools. These integrations enable you to automate tasks, enhance productivity, and interact with loop resources from outside the DevOps Loop interface.
