Open source tools, like Terraform<\/a> and Ansible<\/a>, can be leveraged to implement \u201cinfrastructure as code,\u201d making it easier to continuously build and deploy cloud infrastructure across your applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) provides automated pipelines to build, test, and deploy your code to any platform. It uses agents to perform build and release tasks. Creating private agents has the advantage of being able to install the specific software needed for the builds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To use HashiCorp and Ansible tools for Azure build and release tasks, we will configure a private VSTS agent with a prepared image hosted on DockerHub<\/a>). This image is based on the Microsoft standard VSTS agent image<\/a> and extends it with installed Terraform, Packer and Ansible tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make your solution more lightweight and to minimize costs for running the agent, we\u2019ll show you how to provision a custom VSTS agent on Azure Container Instance (ACI) — a service that became generally available this month<\/a>. ACI provides an easy way to run containers on Azure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VSTS Agent Pool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, create an Agent Pool in your VSTS account named \u201cACI-Pool\u201d — it will be used by agent registration. To learn more about deploying agents and getting PAT token configuration, refer to our \u201cDeploy an agent on Linux<\/a>” documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VSTS Docker Image with Infrastructure Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the pipeline in this post, we built and published at DockerHub an image based on the Microsoft VSTS agent with all the tools (Packer, Terraform, Ansible) pre-installed. For details on the installed tools and Dockerfile refer to: https:\/\/hub.docker.com\/r\/lenisha\/vsts-agent-infrastructure\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACI Provisioning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We will use Terraform available in Azure CloudShell to setup the ACI container group and run the container based on this image. (It could be done from any command line with AZ CLI installed, and az login is performed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Open CloudShell and clone the GitRepo containing Terraform template for ACI running custom agent
    git clone     https:\/\/github.com\/lenisha\/vsts-agent-infrastructure.git <\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Run terraform init, plan, and apply to create the infrastructure with the following code:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \ncd vsts-agent-infrastructure\/terraform\nterraform init\nterraform apply -var vsts-account= -var vsts-token=\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\n
    Upon completion verify that the agent is up and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Azure Container Instances would look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n
    \"agent<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    VSTS Agent Pool reflects the new Agent:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    The agent will now be \u201conline,\u201d as pictured below.<\/p>\n\n\n
    \"a<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
