I am trying to implement CI/CD for my private project on Azure. I also have upgraded my subscription to "pay as you go". When I try to save and queue my pipeline, I get the error ##[error]No hosted parallelism has been purchased or granted. To request a free parallelism grant, please fill out the following form https://aka.ms/azpipelines-parallelism-request.

Since I already can see 1 self hosted free parallel job(0 MS hosted parallel jobs) why can't they be used? Is there anything I am missing. Although I have already raised a request for parallelism request, is it really required?

This was introduced because they were having issues with some user(s) creating multiple free accounts and effectively taking advantage of the free offer or using it in a way for which it was not intended. You will be able to use a free agent once your request gets processed.

If you want to start using pipelines immediately you can purchase a paid agent, go to Organization Settings, Parallel Jobs and at the top under Private Projects click Purchase parallel jobs. On the next screen put a 1 (or more) in the top right hand box:

Pipelines for private projects

Now scroll to the bottom and click Save and you should be good to go.

  • But I have upgraded my subscription from free tier to paid. In this case too I will have to wait for approval? – orion92 Jul 12 '21 at 10:15
  • It sounds like you've upgraded your Azure subscription - you would need to add a paid pipeline, I'll update my answer. – Matt Jul 12 '21 at 10:43
