Choose the Correct Build Agent

You work for MDFT Academy, a well-known training agency that develops custom educational applications for other institutions. You need to set up a build pipeline for an Internet Information Services (IIS) web application that uses Docker containers.

You need to determine which type of build agent to use for compiling this application.

Which build agent should you use?

Choose the correct answer from the options below.

Explanations for each answer:

Self-hosted Windows agent is correct.
Self-hosted Linux agent is incorrect. Linux agents cannot build IIS applications as IIS is a Windows-specific web server. For IIS applications that use Docker, you need a Windows agent that supports Docker containers.
Microsoft-hosted Ubuntu agent is incorrect. Microsoft-hosted Ubuntu agents run on Linux and cannot build IIS applications as IIS is a Windows-specific web server. Additionally, Microsoft-hosted agents have limitations for Docker container operations.
Microsoft-hosted macOS agent is incorrect. macOS agents cannot build IIS applications as IIS is a Windows-specific web server. macOS environments also have limited Docker integration compared to Windows environments for IIS applications.
