Agent pool

Meet performance demand in AKS workloads by organizing Azure agents into agent pools

When you create agent pools to run Azure Kubernetes (AKS) workloads, you create groups of agents available to a pipeline. When you run the pipeline, the pipeline selects the agent that best meets the performance demands of that pipeline.

Agent pools can be autoscaled when the Enable Autoscaling option is selected in the DuploCloud Portal. Each agent pool contains nodes backed by virtual host machines.

Use the DuploCloud Portal Hosts page to create and edit Azure agent pools.

Creating an agent pool

Create an Azure agent pool for an existing Host in the DuploCloud Portal:

1. Select Devops -> Hosts from the navigation menu.

2. Select the Azure Agent Pool tab. The Azure Agent Pool page is displayed.

3. Click Add. The Add Azure Agent Pool page is displayed.

   Input fields on the Add Azure Agent Pool page with Enable Autoscaling selected.
5. Optionally, select Enable Autoscaling to autoscale the pool.
