ubuntu-16.04<\/code>, macOS-10.14<\/code>, macOS-latest<\/code>, vs2017-win2016<\/code>, or windows-latest<\/code>, you will be impacted and this post contains important information for you to read.<\/p>\nmacOS<\/h2>\n
macOS 11 Big Sur is the current version of macOS. To make room for the upcoming demand for macOS, we are deprecating macOS-10.14<\/code> images. In YAML Pipelines<\/a>, you can update the pipeline by editing the YAML:<\/p>\njobs:\n- job: macOS1015\n pool:\n vmImage: 'macOS-1015'\n steps:\n - bash: |\n echo hello from macOS Catalina\n sw_vers\n- job: macOS11\n pool:\n vmImage: 'macOS-11'\n steps:\n - bash: |\n echo hello from macOS Big Sur\n sw_vers\n- job: macOSlatest\n pool:\n vmImage: 'macOS-latest'\n steps:\n - bash: |\n echo hello from the latest version of macOS available\n sw_vers\n<\/code><\/pre>\nNote<\/strong>: Image macOS-latest<\/code> will reference image macoS-11<\/code> soon.<\/p>\nUbuntu<\/h2>\n
When using ubuntu-latest<\/code> Azure pipelines now uses Ubuntu 20.04. We are also supporting Ubuntu 18.04 with the ubuntu-18.04<\/code> image. In YAML Pipelines<\/a>, you can update the pipeline by editing the YAML:<\/p>\njobs:\n- job: ubuntu1804\n pool:\n vmImage: 'ubuntu-18.04'\n steps:\n - bash: |\n echo Hello from Ubuntu 18.04\n lsb_release -d\n- job: ubuntu2004\n pool:\n vmImage: 'ubuntu-20.04'\n steps:\n - bash: |\n echo Hello from Ubuntu 20.04\n lsb_release -d\n- job: ubuntulatest\n pool:\n vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'\n steps:\n - bash: |\n echo Hello from the latest version of Ubuntu available\n lsb_release -d\n<\/code><\/pre>\nImportant<\/strong>: We are removing ubuntu-16.04<\/code> soon, as planned<\/a>.<\/p>\nWindows<\/h2>\n
Recently, we made Windows 2022 available as a pipeline image. Specify windows-2022<\/code> to use this image. The sample YAML below shows the evailable Windows images:<\/p>\n- job: 'windows2019'\n displayName: 'windows-2019 image'\n pool:\n vmImage: 'windows-2019'\n steps:\n - pwsh: |\n Write-Host \"hello from Windows 2019 with Visual Studio 2019\"\n Get-ComputerInfo | Select-Object WindowsProductName\n\n- job: 'windows2022'\n displayName: 'windows-2022 image'\n pool:\n vmImage: 'windows-2022'\n steps:\n - pwsh: |\n Write-Host \"hello from Windows 2022 with Visual Studio 2022\"\n Get-ComputerInfo | Select-Object WindowsProductName\n\n- job: 'windowslatest'\n displayName: 'windows-latest image'\n pool:\n vmImage: 'windows-latest'\n steps:\n - pwsh: |\n Write-Host \"hello from the latest version of Windows available\"\n Get-ComputerInfo | Select-Object WindowsProductName\n<\/code><\/pre>\nImportant<\/strong>: With the upcoming end of mainstream support on Windows 2016 in January 2022<\/a>, we are deprecating vs2017-win2016<\/code> images starting November 15. Retirement is planned for March 2022.<\/p>\nUpdate<\/strong>: The vs2017-win2016<\/code> Windows 2016 image will be retired July 2022.<\/p>\nWe understand this may impact your pipelines. If you are using vs2017-win2016<\/code> these are options to move forward:
\n– Start using the windows-2019<\/code> image. This image contains most of the tools<\/a> (e.g. .NET Framework versions) currently available on vs2017-win2016<\/code>.
\n– In many cases, your apps can be migrated to build on a newer version of Visual Studio with minimal effort<\/a>.<\/p>\nFinding impacted pipelines<\/h2>\n
To identify pipelines that are using a deprecated (e.g. vs2017-win2016<\/code>) image, you can check the following location:
\nhttps:\/\/dev.azure.com\/{organization}\/{project}\/_settings\/agentqueues<\/code><\/p>\nThen, filter on the image name:
\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/devops\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/10\/pool-filter-vs2017-win2016-1024x660-1.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nYou can also query job history for deprecated images across projects using the script located here<\/a>:<\/p>\n.\/QueryJobHistoryForRetiredImages.ps1 -accountUrl https:\/\/dev.azure.com\/{org} -pat {pat}<\/code><\/p>\nResources<\/h2>\n
