How to run two agents in parallel in Azure DevOps?

In this release pipeline, I have two tasks: one is running the kubectl command, and I need it to keep running while I run the second task. After researching for a while, I know that parallel tasks are not available in Azure DevOps, so I tried with multiple agents. However I could not make it work.

May I know which part am I missing?

My current config looks like this:

And in each of the agents, I selected "Multi-Agent" on parallelism with number of 2.

But it seems not the one I want.

What I want is, run the first job with kubectl port-forward command. And keep it running while second job start running. After second job Run script is finished, then the first job can end.

May I know in Azure DevOps is there a way to achieve this?

Thank you so much.

The easiest would be actually to use seprate stages. But if you want to use single stage you can do it as follows:

Define variable like this:

Configure parallelism on the job:

And then define custom condition on the tasks:

One task should have eq(variables['Script'], 'one') and the other eq(variables['Script'], 'two')

You will get two agents runs your jobs but in each job will actually do only one task:
