I am very new to TFS and Release management provided by Microsoft, I have experience of CICd using Jenkins and git as well, Now i have to implement CICD using Microsoft's release management on premises, please provide me guidance how can I buidl CICD and release management setup on premises?

Currently my On-premise company is using Team Foundation Server (TFS), it is doing multiple things like work tracking and build.
We brought Bitbucket to separate code repository, we still want to continue using TFS for work tracking. We are looking for any (opensource project examples) connectors or integrators or plugins somewhat similar to connect between Bitbucket & TFS . If there is any opensource project examples to connect these somewhat similar will try to tweak it.
Azure Pipelines, Azure DevOps Server, and TFS integrate with a number of version control systems. When you use any of these version control systems, you can configure a pipeline to build, test, and deploy your application. Please check Supported source repositories of Azure DevOps Server/TFS.
Bitbucket Cloud repository type is supported in Azure Pipelines, but not in on-premise Azure DevOps Server/TFS. As a workaround, you can use the Other Git or External Git repository type in on-premise Azure DevOps Server/TFS, to build repositories in Bitbucket.
I am looking for how to publish a Jenkins build output to Azure Dev Ops for the purpose of deployment.
All of our code is on TFS 2015 and the build definitions are in Jenkins.
We will be migrating to Azure Dev ops completely, but for now I just want to manage the deployment through Dev Ops. I will script the agent on each of the hosts and move the files to their correct locations.
Looking at the Azure Cli - there Publish Pipeline Artifacts
I can't use a service connection to Jenkins because the server is behind a firewall. I need to be able to publish from Jenkins to Azure Dev Ops.
Any creative ways to do this?
for example, you could create a nuget package (or any other package) from jenkins build and push it to the artifacts feed you create in azure devops. Next is to create a release pipeline with a trigger for Azure Artifacts (with enabled continuous integration trigger) for the latest package version.
here is an example on how to publish nuget packages from jenkins.
EDIT
be aware of the size limitations of Azure Artifacts. As per today, only 2 GB are free of charge.
Our team is trying to migrate from GitHub environment to Microsoft Visual Studio Team Service environment. However, the GitHub already has a Jenkins pipeline.
I want to use the same pipeline but move it to the VSTS environment.
There are no clear tutorials regarding this issue.
I want to keep the same configuration but make this work for the repository in VSTS Git.
Please help.
You need to create a service hook for Jenkins. That will allow you to trigger Jenkins builds as appropriate.
Our Enterprise Service Broker team is currently considering moving to the Atlasian Stack as this is a company wide standard and will assist with our Continuous Integration (CI) and continuous Development (CD).
We would like to automate our builds as well as deployments and use Bamboo (Bamboo Agent) to create our artifacts and execute our scrips that we have chosen to write in ANT.
We are currently using Rational Team Concert (RTC - Version control tool) and would like to port to BitBucket so that we can use Bamboo. Is there someone that can guide us in this process, what are the steps we need to take.
I have searched the IBM documentation and they only support bamboo on version 10.2.1410 of the IBM development toolkit which we are not yet making use of as we will not be able to upgrade yet.
Ref: https://docops.ca.com/ca-release-automation/integrations/en/optional-action-packs/ibm-integration-bus-advanced
Are there any best-practices for doing so? Tutorials maybe?
You can connect an RTC to a Git repository. The documentation currently states that it support GitLab and GitHub Enterprise, but nothing about BitBucket.Take a look at this part of the documentation. I think however, you could connect to BitBucket, but jsut treat it like a GitLab repo.

We use Jenkins as our CI build server but have moved over to TFS to do all the project management stuff (user stories, dev tasks, test cases, reporting, automation). How do I setup TFS2010 to use our Jenkins build server?
it's actually more like the other way around. You need to configure the TFS plugin for Jenkins, telling it to use TFS as your source control system. below is a link to the jenkins TFS plug-in...
