What’s different from before?
VSO Build orchestrates your builds – it is not a standalone build engine
Improved everything (debugging, logging, reports, editing build definitions…)- no more XAML build definitions managed in Visual Studio
Cross Platform and Extensible
It all start’s with a Build DefinitionA Build Definition is a configuration of a build and a collection of tasks
Builds are queued based on a build definition that will end up being served by one or more agents in a pool
Pool 1
Agent 1 Agent 2 Agent 3
