Oh no, not just my build server, Microsofts build server... Everyones' Azure build server - (if you're building on windows)
If I have a nickel for everytime someone said "The cloud never goes down".
I'd have a lot of nickels and would spend my time doing something I like a lot more than working π€.

Windows Server license on MS Windows Activation server has expired...
I swear to the gods, proprietary software is going to be the end of civilization...
Why are text editors cloud services now?
IDEs have had subscriptions for ages. The build server is a cloud service because local machines can be slow to compile and not everyone has an on-site build server.
I use vim btw
Peak editing with vim/neovim
So they can charge subscriptions
Isnβt that an IDE? Why would a build server need that? Sigh.
Fron what I gather, visual studio is a horrible monolith that also contains C/C++/C++++ build stuff.
For using msbuild or vsbuild to build C projects.
Can be installed standalone but it's typically just easier to install the full VS suite because on a shared runner it's better to include the entire kitchen.
For C, I use Makefiles. The Microsoft ecosystem sounds like a nightmare.
They started at Java's build system and set a course for Hell.
Hey hey hey, put some respect on Java, we don't need certificates to compile our shit.
Maven works without an IDE. (And so does ant if youβre going back that far.)
And really early Java we used Makefiles.
Anyway all of that worked without an IDE.
I'm not familiar with the service, can someone explain? Like, are all pipelines on Azure affected? Or is it some internal stuff where a company relying on paid tech forgot to pay for it?
No, not some internal company, just Microsoft being Microsoft. So all Windows pipelines. They also have Linux based pipelines so not completely all pipelines.
But given that a lot of people build dotnet stuff on Azure, the 'windows-latest' image is usually the default. So a lot of pipelines
Wow, that's big. Thank you for the clarification.
I think they forgot to pay themselves to use their product.
