I need assistance with setting up Azure DevOps to promote solutions from my Development (Dev) environment to Test environment and finally to Production (Prod) environment. I am looking for the most cost-effective way to do this, without requiring end users to use Premium Licenses.

I have explored creating a pipeline using native tools, but this involved creating managed environments. I was informed that using Azure DevOps would be a 'free' way to move solutions from Dev to Test to Prod. However, I have a few questions:

Managed Environments:

1. Do I need to create managed environments for Dev, Test, and Prod?
2. Environment Type for Dev: What type of environment should I create for Dev (sandbox or developer)?
3. Subscription Requirements: Do I need an account with a premium subscription to run Azure DevOps promotions?
4. Additional Costs: What additional costs will be incurred?

Any MS links for the above?

1. no managed environment needed

2. You can use Sandbox environment for dev

3. No, you don't necessarily need a premium subscription to run Azure DevOps

4. No cost. Free Tier: Includes 1 free Microsoft-hosted CI/CD parallel job with 1,800 minutes per month, and 1 self-hosted job with unlimited minutes per month.

Hello.

Thanks for your response.

What do you mean by

"Includes 1 free Microsoft-hosted CI/CD parallel job with 1,800 minutes per month, and 1 self-hosted job with unlimited minutes per month."

What does 1,800 minutes mean? 1,800 minutes for what?

What s a self-hosted job with unlimited minutes per month?
