Azure DevOps offers two agent types: Microsoft-hosted and self-hosted. While the former is convenient, self-hosted agents come with unmatched benefits. They offer unparalleled customizability, a performance boost by utilizing tailored hardware, consistent build environments, and cost-effective parallel job executions. Additionally, they enhance security by keeping data within your network and provide seamless access to on-premises resources. For teams seeking advanced CI/CD capabilities, self-hosted agents are worth considering.
