In our environment, the hosted pools are swamped and we often queue for half an hour or more waiting for a machine. Switch to machines managed by the .NET team in the hopes that they'll have more capacity and thus lower PR turnaround time.

Pull request overview
Updates the PR validation pipeline to reduce queue times by moving jobs off Microsoft-hosted agents and onto .NET-managed/private pools (with conditional selection based on System.TeamProject).
Changes:
- Switched Windows PR jobs to use
NetCore-Public(public) orVSEng-MicroBuildVSStable(non-public) instead ofwindows-2022. - Switched Linux/macOS PR jobs to use
NetCore-PublicwithImageOverridedemands for public builds (keeping hosted images for non-public). - Updated the Code Coverage job to use the same Windows pool selection logic as the Windows PR jobs.
Seems like this is what everybody else does . . .

Merging on red because a flaky test on macOS was definitely not changed by this PR that didn't change tests or the macOS selection. |
