Issue Description
I can't seem to get the Cache task to work when running on DevOps Managed pools.
Builds within the same project, pipeline, branch, don't seem to pick up the cache from previous builds.

There was no clear documentation to say it's supported (or not supported). It's supported on Self-hosted.
(Also Environment in the Github template doesn't have Managed DevOps Pools as an option).
Are these "caches" valid between agents in the same pool?
