The official cross-platform build and release agent for Azure Pipelines and Team Foundation Server 2015+, written in C# for .NET. It runs CI/CD jobs on self-hosted machines across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Use cases
- run azure pipelines jobs on my own server
- self-hosted build agent for azure devops
- set up a ci runner on linux for tfs
- execute release pipelines on-premises
- cross-platform ci agent for windows mac and linux
- connect on-prem machine to azure pipelines
When to choose
- you need self-hosted agents for Azure Pipelines or TFS/Azure DevOps Server
- your builds require specific hardware, OS versions, or network access not available in Microsoft-hosted agents
- you want an officially supported, actively maintained agent
When to avoid
- you use GitHub Actions or another CI system instead of Azure DevOps
- Microsoft-hosted agents meet your needs and you don't want to manage infrastructure
- you need a general-purpose CI runner unrelated to Azure DevOps
