What’s different from before? VSO Build orchestrates your builds – it is not a standalone build engine Improved everything (debugging, logging, reports, editing build definitions…) - no more XAML build definitions managed in Visual Studio Cross Platform and Extensible

It all start’s with a Build Definition A Build Definition is a configuration of a build and a collection of tasks Builds are queued based on a build definition that will end up being served by one or more agents in a pool

Managed at Project Level Managed at VSO Account Level Project 1 Pool 1 Build def. 1 Queue 1 Agent 1 Agent 3 JSON Agent 2 Queue 2 Build def. 2 JSON Pool 2 Agent 1 Agent 2 Agent 3 Project 2 Queue 1 Build def. 1 . . JSON Queue 2

High Performance Pool Web Application Release Queue 1 JSON Queue 2 Continuous General Pool JSON iOS App Release Mac Pool Macs JSON Continuous JSON Hosted

Configuring Agents PowerShell Node.js $ sudo npm install vsoagent-installer -g $ sudo chown -R $USER ~/.npm ~/agentfolder$ vsoagent-installer Extract and run .\ConfigureAgent.ps1 in PowerShell
