Summary

In this chapter, we looked at using Microsoft-hosted agents and self-hosted agents to run your Azure pipeline jobs. We dug deep into the process of setting up a self-hosted agent and updated our pipelines to use the self-hosted agent.

We also looked at how you can use Docker containers, Azure container instances, and Azure VM scale sets as your Azure pipeline agents. With this chapter, you should be able to plan and implement the appropriate pipeline agent solution for your projects

In the next chapter, we'll learn about Artifacts in Azure DevOps.
