No hosted parallelism Azure Origin: Platform & cloud Last updated 13 Oct 2026

Azure Pipelines: No hosted parallelism has been purchased or granted

The Azure DevOps organization has no Microsoft-hosted parallel jobs, so pipelines can’t run on hosted agents.

Exact message you may see No hosted parallelism has been purchased or grantedTo request a free parallelism grant
Seen on: Azure

Meaning

New organizations must request the free grant (form) or buy parallel jobs. Until then, use a self-hosted agent.

Common causes

  • New organization without the free grant
  • Private project without paid parallel jobs
  • Grant request pending

⚡ Quick fix

  1. Request the free grant via aka.ms/azpipelines-parallelism-request
  2. Purchase parallel jobs
  3. Use a self-hosted agent pool meanwhile

Detailed fix by platform

YAML

  1. bash
    pool:
      name: SelfHosted   # instead of vmImage: ubuntu-latest

How to diagnose

  1. Parallelism — Organization settings → Parallel jobs
  2. Project — Public or private?
