Rebecca - I think for any platform testing it would make more sense to use self hosted agents. They could even be your own VM. QEMU and emulator might be the two where we could explore using the DevOps VMs but I worry we will spend too much time downloading and install dependencies since the VM is clean on each run.
We can detect the number of threads available and call make with the associated parameters. That might help speed it up and would be safe to use.
The doc says they are DS2v2 instances which have the following.
Size | vCPU | Memory: GiB | Temp storage (SSD) GiB | Max data disks | Max cached and temp storage throughput: IOPS/MBps (cache size in GiB) | Max uncached disk throughput: IOPS/MBps | Max NICs/Expected network bandwidth (Mbps) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Standard_DS2_v2 | 2 | 7 | 14 | 8 | 8000/64 (86) | 6400/96 | 2/1500 |
