Explanation

At 10:00 AM, you queue JobA. JobA starts and runs for 10 minutes until 10.10 AM. At 10:00 AM, you queue JobB. JobB starts and runs for 20 minutes until 10.20 AM. At 10:05 AM, you queue JobC. At 10.05 AM there are no available job slots. At 10.10 AM on slot is free. JobC starts to run at 10.10 AM. Note: Make your deployment faster parallelizing your jobs in Azure ... In Azure DevOps, parallel jobs are used to run multiple jobs simultaneously, speeding up pipeline execution. If you have more jobs than available parallel jobs, the extra jobs will be queued and run sequentially after the others complete. You can control how many jobs run in parallel, either through pipeline settings or by managing parallel job capacity within your organization. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/licensing/concurrent-jobs
