Building Azure DevOps pipelines with a Docker agent

 In this post, we are going to create a Docker image to use as a build agent to Azure DevOps pipelines. The process followed in this blog post is similar to the process followed in the post where we used an Azure VM as the build agent . The difference is, instead of using an Azure VM as an agent, we are going to run a Docker container as an agent on localhost. Prerequisites   1. An Azure DevOps project to build using the Docker agent. We are going to use the PartsUnlimited project we created in an  earlier post  which meets these criteria. 2. Have Docker installed on your local machine with the ability to create and run Windows containers (Refer to the troubleshooting section on how to switch). Steps There are a lot of steps involved in creating a Docker agent and running the build pipeline on it. So I will add subtopics between steps to group steps related to a specific subtask. 1. Creating the Agent pool and generating personal access for the new build agent 1.1. N...
