Microsoft's CI/CD service inside Azure DevOps, with one free parallel job of 1,800 build minutes per organization each month. It fits teams on Azure or Microsoft tooling, and extra parallel jobs and users add cost. The default CI for GitHub repositories, free for public repositories and with included minutes by plan. Its workflows depend on GitHub, so it does not help teams that host code elsewhere.
