Hi
Please let me know how Build server is linked with DevOps ( Vsts).
What is the role of build agent?
Kindly elaborate me please
Hi @rp@n,
I think you are talking about build pipeline, when you deploy a build server from LCS, a default build pipeline is created in Azure DevOps.
See the article from Nikolaos:
community.dynamics.com/.../working-with-build-pipelines-build-definitions
To build your code or deploy your software using Azure Pipelines, you need at least one agent. As you add more code and people, you'll eventually need more.
When your pipeline runs, the system begins one or more jobs. An agent is computing infrastructure with installed agent software that runs one job at a time
See:docs.microsoft.com/.../agents
And if you use Microsoft-hosted agents, it can help you avoid the setup, maintenance, and cost of deploying build virtual machines (VMs)
docs.microsoft.com/.../hosted-build-automation
When you configure build VM from LCS it is automatically mapped to azure dev ops project which has a build agent/controller that builds modules from the Azure DevOps project. Read complete flow from link below.
docs.microsoft.com/.../continuous-build-test-automation
Thanks Will
Almost I understand. Please let me know what is Azure pipeline? What it does?
Azure Pipelines is a cloud service that you can use to automatically build and test your code project and make it available to other users.
Azure Pipelines combines continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) to constantly and consistently test and build your code and ship it to any target.
In D365FO, there is a feature that the pipelines will be used to connect the Build output with the Asset Library in LCS.

Finally, one thing...
Suppose if I do checkin object like " Sales order form" then how it will sync with Azure pipeline and then build finally....
Kindly let me know the flow based on above example.
You save code to an Azure DevOps repository. The build agent will download it from there.
I agree with Martin.
You could also create build definition and configure various parameters and schedules.
There is a related introduction in Nikolaos' article, please read the provided link carefully.
See the article about Continuous build.
