What is the purpose of Azure Pipeline agents in a CI/CD environment?

• To create virtual machines for testing

• To define release stages

• To execute jobs and tasks in the CI/CD process

• To store build artifacts

n Azure Pipelines, what is an agent pool used for?

• Storing source code repositories

• Managing deployment environments

• Grouping and organizing agents for build and release jobs

• Configuring build pipelines

How does a Microsoft-hosted agent in Azure Pipelines differ from a self-hosted agent?

• Microsoft-hosted agents are free, while self-hosted agents incur additional costs.

• Self-hosted agents are managed by Microsoft, while Microsoft-hosted agents are managed by the user.

• Microsoft-hosted agents are pre-configured and maintained by Microsoft, while self-hosted agents are configured and maintained by the user.

• Self-hosted agents are only suitable for small projects, while Microsoft-hosted agents are suitable for large-scale deployments.
