Day 9/16 - Azure DevOps Self-hosted agents on Virtual Machine Scale Sets 🏗

Check out the video below for Day9 👇

Microsoft-hosted vs. self-hosted agents

Use case of self-hosted agents

Ways to setup self-hosted agents:

• Azure Virtual Machine
• Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS)
• Containers etc.

What is a Virtual machine scale set

• A group of one or more identical Virtual machines that can be scaled out and scaled in based on the demand/schedule and manual actions.
• This ensures high availability and fault tolerance so that if one VM crashes, another gets provisioned using the template.
• This is similar to AWS AutoScaling Groups or GCP Managed Instance Groups.
