Yeah that would be a good start. There's clear value-add here for on-prem teams which are starting to move to the cloud, by making it easier to run builds both on Azure and on-prem (seeing the $15/month pricing per agent) from the same cloud-based product, which I don't think anybody else is doing yet? But there doesn't seem to be any documentation about how to get that set up?

It would definitely help to see comparisons against competition, e.g. GitLab, CircleCI

Yeah - the hybrid cloud and on-premises build agents is actually one of my favorite features. The open source project that I help maintain (libgit2) uses VSTS's hosted Linux, Windows and macOS build agents, but add support for some other platforms (like ARM) with on-premises build agents.

("On-premises build agents" makes it sound fancier than it is, it's actually Raspberry Pi's on my desk, but hey, whatever works, right?)
