parallelism is a fundamental feature supported by Azure DevOps. However, for new organizations, the free grant of parallel jobs for both public and certain private projects is temporarily disabled. You need to request this grant explicitly.
Submit a Request: You need to fill out the Parallelism Request form available at: https://aka.ms/azpipelines-parallelism-request.
- The form will ask for details about your Azure DevOps organization and your project(s). It's often recommended to fill the form once with private project options and again with public project options selected for better chances of approval.
- Wait for Approval: Microsoft states that it usually takes 2-3 business days to process your free tier request. However, during certain periods, the processing time might be longer.
Checking Your Current Parallel Job Limits (if approved)
- Sign in to your Azure DevOps organization (https://dev.azure.com/{yourorganization}).
- Go to Organization settings.
- Select Parallel jobs under Pipelines.
- Here, you can view the maximum number of parallel jobs available for your organization. You can also see in-progress and queued jobs.
- Microsoft-hosted:
- Public Projects: You can get up to 10 free Microsoft-hosted parallel jobs with unlimited minutes per month. Each job can run for a maximum of 360 minutes (6 hours) per instance.
- Private Projects: You can get one free Microsoft-hosted parallel job with a limit of 1,800 minutes (30 hours) per month, and each job can run for up to 60 minutes.
