Dylan McCarthy - Managed DevOps Pools - Simplifying Build Agents for Azure DevOps
Managing build agents for Azure DevOps has always been a bit of a pain, requiring teams to create VMs or VM Scale Sets, maintain their images, manage spinning up and down resources to manage cost and build times.

In this talk I want to show you how you can abstract away a lot of that pain by using Managed DevOps Pools. I will walk you through what the service is, it's features and then show you how to connect a pool to an Azure DevOps environment.
