Docs on Azure VM agents

https://plugins.jenkins.io/azure-vm-agents

I needed nonstandard software (Packer, Hyper-V, ...) so I had to choose Image Configuration = Advanced, then choose the image manually

Finding Windows image

az vm image list -p MicrosoftWindowsServer --all -otable

Image I wanted:

Offer                    Publisher                      Sku                                             Urn                                                                                                            Version
-----------------------  -----------------------------  ----------------------------------------------  --------------...

WindowsServerSemiAnnual  MicrosoftWindowsServer         Datacenter-Core-1709-smalldisk

Configuring the agents

I translated the above to

  • offer WindowsServerSemiAnnual
  • publisher MicrosoftWindowsServer
  • sku Datacenter-Core-1709-smalldisk
  • version latest

Used custom init script initscript.ps1 in this same gist

Set label to be called "win", and set that for the node in the pipeline

Scheduled a job, and it creates the VM but deletes it after 20 minutes

Figuring out why the nodes don't come up

Well, something's using a custom script extension. Let's go look at what it's trying to run, and run it again so we can see if it fails.

Yeah, that's now going to work on an OS without a shell. Why didn't they use Expand-Archive ? Let's give it a go

Bug filed https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-49212

Time to try 2016

Since server core is a dead end with the current plugin, go back to the Windows Server 2016 datacenter w/ UI

  • publisher WindowsServer
  • offer MicrosoftWindowsServer
  • sku 2016-Datacenter

It seems to deploy, then start running my custom init script. I ran into some issues downloading Packer with System.Net.WebClient.downloadFile(), so I switched to Start-BitsTransfer which works.

Diagnosing problem starting the job

I'm not 100% sure if persisting $ENV:Path and rebooting is working yet. When an agent is brought up, I hit errors like this:

Why is Packer missing?

Why is this failing? I went back to http://127.0.0.1:8080/computer/win-agenf335b0/log and checked the logs.
