Deploy CoreOS node with VSTS Agent (Docker container)

This is a template allows you to create a Virtual Machine in Azure running CoreOS (Stable) which starts four (4) VSTS Agents (Azure DevOps Agents?) using Docker Containers. Repository for the blog post: Deploy CoreOS with VSTS Agent container using ARM template

Before deployment

Make sure you have the following parameters in the azuredeploy.parameters.json file:

• adminPublicKey (SSH Public key)
• virtualNetworkRG (Existing resource group where the virtual network the node is being deployed to)
• virtualNetworkName (Existing virtual network in the above resource group)
• subnetName (Existing subnet in the above virtual network)
• VstsAccount (Account for VSTS / Azure DevOps)
• VstsToken (Token for VSTS / Azure DevOps)

The other parameters should be change to match your environment. If you are using the default values the following resources will be created:

• Virtual Machine: vm-dev-we-vsts01
• OS Disk: osdisk-vm-dev-we-vsts01
• NIC: nic-vm-dev-we-vsts01

To modify the naming, change the variables.

An Agent Pool needs to be created named: ubuntu-16-04-docker-17-12-0-ce-standard
