Azure Dev Ops Multiple Parallel Tasks on a Single Agent

Question

I am trying to run multiple parallel tasks on Azure Dev Ops.

Do I need to have 1 agent per Parallel task? Or can a single agent take on multiple parallel tasks?

Answer 1

Tasks are executed sequentially in one job (and one job = one agent). So if you have them run in parallel you need to put them in separate jobs (which may not be a solution for you). There is feature request to enable parallel task (so please consider upvoting it) - but this is not possible at the moment.
