@MikeMcC399 Discussed with the team and we intend to remove running these in Azure and we intend to maintain these example configuration for reference. I'll close once we have updated CI to stop running these.

• PR docs: remove Azure Pipelines CI status badge #644 follows up the action from this issue.
