Outage Details

Microsoft Hosted Agents have an expired Visual Studio license. Customers using the "Azure Pipelines" pool and `windows-latest` (alias for `windows-2022`) label and relying on visual studio may see failures like this: ``` Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 Version 17.10.5. Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp. All rights reserved. The license for Visual Studio has expired. The evaluation period for this product has ended. Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 Version 17.10.5.

Latest Updates ( sorted recent to last )
UPDATE

The impact is almost fully mitigated at this point. We have one smaller pool in US region which is not yet updated. Other geographies are mitigated.

UPDATE

We are progressing with the rollout but it will take longer than originally planned. About 20% of the requests should be getting the new image but it is possible we will be able to fully mitigate this only on Monday.

UPDATE

We will be rolling out a new version of the image through our deployment rings and validating it. Currently (optimistic) ETA is to finish the rollout of new image around 4pm UTC (2024-09-13).
