Suggested Answer:

Scenario:

Step 1: Sign in to Azure Devops by using an account that is assigned the Administrator service connection security role.
Note: Under Agent Phase, click Deploy Service Fabric Application. Click Docker Settings and then click Configure Docker settings. In Registry Credentials Source, select Azure Resource Manager Service Connection. Then select your Azure subscription.
Step 2: Create a personal access token..
A personal access token or PAT is required so that a machine can join the pool created with the Agent Pools (read, manage) scope.
Step 3: Install and register the Azure Pipelines agent on an Azure virtual machine.
By running a Azure Pipeline agent in the cluster, we make it possible to test any service, regardless of type.

Guys, Project 1 requires incremental build. So the Pipelines Agent should be installed on an on-premises environment that will be self-host . Answer is (1) sign into Devops as an agent pool admin. 2 Create a personal token and 3. Install the agent on an on-premises machine.

I think you are mixing things up. You are right about the fact that you need a self hosted agent to make use of incremental builds. But that doesn't mean they have to be on premise; you can use an Azure VM as well. What you can't use is an MS hosted agent, since they are thrown away after the build. "If you use a self-hosted agent, you can run incremental builds [...] When you use a Microsoft-hosted agent, you don't get these benefits because the agent is destroyed after the build [...]" https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/agents/agents?view=azure-devops&tabs=browser#private-agent-performance-advantages

1. Sign in to Azure DevOps with agent pool administrator role. This allow you to configurate and manage the agent pools in Azure DevOps and ask for the PAT. 2. Create a PAT. Token used to authenticate the build agents, this is used in the next step. 3. Install and register the Azure Pipelines agent on an Azure virtual machine. Upon request "Whenever possible, use Azure resources.", and you can install self-hosted agent into azure virtual machines to incremental builds.

Install and register Azure Pipelines agent on an Azure virtual machine https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/security/about-security-roles?view=azure-devops#agent-pool-security-roles-organization-or-collection-level - Administrator Can register or unregister agents from the pool and manage membership for all pools, as well as view and create pools. They can also use the agent pool when creating an agent in a project. The system automatically adds the user that created the pool to the Administrator role for that pool.

The user configuring the agent needs pool admin permissions, but the user running the agent does not. Hence, James 79 is right

NO !!! Project 1 requires an incremental build and 3rd party extensions which you can add only on self-hosted agents. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/phases?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml The correct answer should be: 1. Sign in with pool admin role 2. Create PAT 3. Install and register on on-prem VM
