There’s a few that support various combinations of non-Linux. Gitlab
CI has been there for a while. Circle CI has had OS X and is in beta with
Windows. Cirrus CI has all those plus FreeBSD. etc, etc. It’s quickly
becoming required that cloud-based CI systems do more than just throw up a
Linux box.

I think they are limited to being on Azure tho, IIRC. But I’m probably
not. I pretty much gave up on doing anything serious with it.
I really wanted to like pipelines. The UI is nice. But in the end,
Pipelines was one of the more frustrating ones to work with in my
experience—and that was with some help from the MS folks. It suffers by a death
of a thousand cuts (lack of complex, real-world examples, custom docker binary,
pre-populated bits here and there, a ton of env vars, artifact system is a
total disaster, etc, etc). Lots of small problems that add up to just not
being worth the effort.
Hopefully it’s improved since I last looked at it months and months ago
though.
