How to Resolve the “No Hosted Parallelism Has Been Purchased or Granted” Error in Azure DevOps
Azure DevOps is a popular platform for automating CI/CD pipelines, and a key part of this process is the use of Azure-hosted agents. These agents are virtual machines provided by Microsoft to run your build and release jobs. However, you may encounter the following error when running your pipeline:
##[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-requestThis error prevents your pipeline from running, and it occurs when your Azure DevOps organization has not been allocated any parallelism for Azure-hosted agents.
What Does This Error Mean?
In Azure DevOps, parallelism refers to the number of jobs that can run simultaneously. Without parallelism, the pipeline cannot access Azure-hosted agents, which are necessary for running jobs like builds and deployments. If your organization hasn’t been granted any hosted parallelism, or if you have consumed all available parallelism, this error will appear, and the pipeline will be stuck in a queue without an available agent.
