When getting to know Azure Devops, the most difficult question is probably what steps you need to follow to make your CI Pipeline work correctly. The crucial point in running the Azure CI Pipeline is the work of the Azure Pipelines Agent, which primary task is to establish a connection with the machine on which you want to run your DevOps CI Pipeline.

As you can see from the figure above, your pipeline has to be run in some kind of operating environment on some machine.

After that, you will see a message about successful configuration: Also, if you go to the Default page of the Agent pools section, you will see that your agent appeared in the list there: If you select Default pool for your pipeline, the pipeline will be run on the machine where the agent is installed.

This article does not intend to cover in-depth the operating principle of the Azure Pipelines Agent in this article, but try to give the minimum necessary idea of what types of agents exist and how to configure the agent for your Continuous Integration with Azure Pipelines.
