Is the azure pipelines agent backward compatible with azure devops?


Asked by Royalty Singh on Nov 30, 2021 FAQ



Agents are widely backward compatible. Any version of the agent should be compatible with any Azure DevOps version as long as Azure DevOps isn't demanding a higher version of the agent. We only support the most recent version of the agent since that is the only version guaranteed to have all up-to-date patches and bug fixes.
Likewise,
For instance, if the agent version is 2.1, then the major version is 2 and the minor version is 1. When your Azure DevOps Server or TFS server has a newer version of the agent, and that newer agent is only different in minor version, it can usually be automatically upgraded.
Furthermore, In Azure DevOps Server, agent pools are scoped to the entire server; so you can share the agent machines across projects and collections. When you configure an agent, it is registered with a single pool, and when you create a pipeline, you specify which pool the pipeline uses.

Indeed,
Hosted Azure DevOps pipelines are not such environments. Service principals is what you will be using in all likelihood. Service principals come in two flavours automatic and manual. Again with the mislabeling.
