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.

Autoscaling can be enabled when creating agent pools in the DuploCloud Portal. Each agent pool contains nodes backed by virtual host machines.

Prerequisites

To create an agent pool using availability zones, you must first create a PostgreSQL Flexible Server subnet in the Infrastructure. For agent pools not using availability zones, skip this step.

Adding an agent pool

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

  1. From the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to Cloud Services -> Hosts.

  2. Select the Azure Agent Pool tab, and Click Add. The Add Azure Agent Pool page displays.

  3. Provide inputs for the Instance Type, Min Capacity, Max Capacity, and Desired Capacity fields.

  4. Enter allocation tags in the Allocation Tags field, if required.

  5. Optionally, select Enable Autoscaling.

  6. Optionally, select one or more availability zones from the Availability Zones list box. If you select availability zones, you must create a PostgreSQL Flexible Server subnet in the Infrastructure before adding your agent pool.

  7. Click Add. It may take some time to create the agent pool. When the agent pool is ready, Succeeded displays in the Status column.

Editing an agent pool

Edit an agent pool:

  1. Select Cloud Services -> Hosts from the navigation menu.

  2. Select the Azure Agent Pool tab. The Azure Agent Pool page displays.

  3. In the Name column, select the agent pool that you want to edit.

  4. Select the Actions menu and choose Edit.

  5. In the Update agent pool capacity pane, edit the pool configuration.

  6. Click Update.
