I think we can do the same world build split like on GitLab. However I
suspect a complete run will take much more time compared to GitLab.
Based on my testing I see each job is a 2-core VM with 8GiB memory,
not as powerful as current GitLab CI runner machine. Although the free
Azure account can support up to 360 minutes per job, having the same
world build split loses the chance to do more parallelism utilizing
the free 10 jobs.
