Pilot Azure Pipelines GitHub-hosted PAYG agents with measured queue time, cost per successful .NET run, policy checks, and a tested rollback.
Fix AzureStaticWebApp@0 Bash and Docker failures on self-hosted Windows agents with a source-backed preflight and split deployment job.
Keep Agent Framework structured output aligned with custom .NET JSON converters: inspect the transmitted schema, preserve a transformed format, and retain typed responses.
Keep .NET builds reliable on clean Azure agents: cache NuGet packages, authenticate feeds, validate committed locks on every run, and rebuild project assets.
Find global Azure DevOps PAT dependencies in .NET build and release workflows, replace them safely, and prove the old token can be revoked before December 1, 2026.
Give concurrent .NET publish jobs separate intermediate artifact roots, then verify each service ships its own shared-library build with a runnable two-service proof.
Find Azure Pipelines tasks that still depend on Node.js 6, 10, or 16, test the provider restriction, and migrate owned tasks to Node20_1 safely.
Add Microsoft’s new NuGet author-signing certificate without breaking older package verification, then validate strict restores in Azure Pipelines.
Diagnose local DefaultAzureCredential timeouts, skip IMDS only in development, keep managed identity explicit in production, and verify the selected credential.
Migrate Azure Pipelines Linux container jobs to the safer Docker socket default, opt in only required jobs, and verify host-daemon access before builds.
