PM for Azure DevOps here. The team is really excited about this launch, and many of us are here to answer questions on Azure DevOps, or any of the individual services like Azure Pipelines, the new GitHub Marketplace app, or our free build offer for open source projects.

The VM based build agents are slow, especially compared to more modern CI/CD systems that today use a Docker/container based approach for each build step, along with a persistent store between each step.

Is something like this going to arrive soon?

[PM on Azure Pipelines here.]

We've just finished building the initial version of container jobs [1]. A job groups up a number of steps -- we haven't yet decided if or how we should implement container-per-step. I'd be interested in your thoughts and use cases. In case I miss you here, my email is [email protected].

Hello, I think I found a bug with your organizations.

I own skmexyz.visualstudio.com (under [email protected] account) and I tried to transfer it to [email protected] and now:

1. Both accounts are not admins so I can't delete / modify it (it asks me to contact the administrator when I am obviously the administrator)

2. It claims that it's being managed by Default Directory on Azure but I can't appear do anything with it.

I would really appreciate some help with it.

I'm sorry to hear that - can you contact our support directly through the method of your choice? https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/devops/ has the options. (Sorry, our team hangs out most places, but we don't do support on HN).
