How do I run Throttling and backoff jobs on self-hosted runners with Azure Pipelines?

Running throttling and backoff jobs on self-hosted runners with Azure Pipelines is a crucial aspect of managing resource utilization across your CI/CD processes. By incorporating appropriate throttling and exponential backoff strategies, you can ensure that your jobs are executed efficiently without overwhelming your system resources.

# Sample YAML pipeline for implementing throttling and backoff trigger: - main jobs: - job: ThrottledJob pool: name: Default steps: - script: | echo "Starting throttled job" for i in {1..5}; do echo "Attempt: $i" if [ $i -eq 3 ]; then echo "Failure! Retrying after backoff..." sleep 5 # Exponential backoff logic can be implemented here. fi done echo "Job completed!"
