The hosted build queue has drained in all Visual Studio Online service instanced except the one service instances hosted in North-Central US. The team is keeping a very close eye on the build queue in North-Central US to make sure that the queue is being drained. As soon as the queue gets drained the team will post a final update to this blog post.

The Azure has mitigated the issue and will be working on the root cause analysis. The build request queues in Hosted Build is gradually draining but until it is fully drained customers will continue to see longer than usual queue times. The Cloud Load Test Service is also mitigating. Our telemetry shows that test runs completed successfully. Customers will now be able to queue load test runs. We continue to keep a keen eye on the impacted services.

The issue is caused by an ongoing Azure issue (Azure Status Page: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/status/). We are working with our partners in Azure to mitigate the issue. Some customers may continue to experience longer build queue times and/or build failures.
The Azure issue has also effected the Cloud Load Test Service. Customers will experience errors queuing load tests.
We currently have no estimated time for resolution.
