Azure ADO Build Pipeline failed due to brown out of ubuntu 16.04

My pipelines refer to ubuntu-latest pool, but I'm getting this error about Ubuntu 16.04

The docs state that ubuntu-latest is an alias for ubuntu-20.04 https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/hosted?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml#software

EDIT: I changed to ubuntu-20.04 and still getting the brownout and my job canceled

Azure DevOps Pipelines is effectively down right now

Solution

  • The error is due to the default agent pool being set to an outdated version of ubuntu

    Edit the build

    From the menu select triggers

    Select the YAML tab

    image

    Update to a valid option

    I also recommend update / setting the pool on every job so that it will not use the default (making it more clear and easy to fix)
