Document what's going on in terms of caching

Just trying this out on Quinn right now, it looks very helpful. It would be neat if documentation (the README) what, if anything, was going on in terms of caching.

Good point that we should document this for people unfamiliar with Azure Pipelines. As of right now, it doesn't support any caching, so neither do the templates we provide.

Azure has only recently gotten support for caching, and it is slowly rolling out. As @epage says, the CI scripts here do not currently support caching at all :) The discussion to follow on the Azure side is https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-yaml/pull/113.

Maybe this should then be reformulated as "Add support for caching"? I recently used it with Bitbucket pipelines and found the decreased turnaround time quite attractive.
