Rebecca,<br /><br />Each CI framework has different syntax, capabilities, and requirements.&nbsp; The PyTools environment attempts to generalize the edk2/uefi aspects of the setup, build, and test but regardless there are things that should be done as "steps" in the CI framework being targeted.&nbsp; This is why there is a split between PlatformBuild.py and the azurepipelines files.&nbsp; &nbsp;PlatformBuild.py and the ReadMe.md files all have details about how to run locally as well so those aspects can be tested independently from the CI framework.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />thanks<br />Sean
