What it actually says
The organisation has no Microsoft-hosted parallel job capacity. Your YAML is fine; there's nothing to run it on.
Azure outage? No. Licensing/capacity setting of the organisation.
The fix
- 01Request the free grant via the link in the error (if eligible), or
- 02Purchase hosted parallel jobs, or
- 03Use a self-hosted agent pool.
