You will not be given any free grant of agents
by default from Microsoft with its new policy
To build your code or deploy your software
using Azure Pipelines, you need at least one agent. As you add more code and
people, you'll eventually need more.
When your pipeline runs, the system begins
one or more jobs. An agent is computing infrastructure with installed agent
software that runs one job at a time.
2 types of Agents:
1. Microsoft
Hosted Agents
2. Self-Hosted
Agents
Microsoft Hosted: Here the will host the agent
Self-hosted – You can host the agent to run the job
for you
If you do not want to wait for 2 business days and if
you are doing these tests you can host a self hosted agent in a virtual machine
or in your own local machine
