Hardened build agents. Zero excuses.
Security-hardened VM images for Azure DevOps self-hosted agents with 200+ configuration controls. Pre-loaded with security tooling. Compliance-ready out of the box. Drop them into your pipeline and stop worrying about your build environment.
Why not Microsoft-hosted agents?
No hardening
Microsoft-hosted agents are general-purpose VMs. No security hardening, no compliance baseline, no configuration controls. Fine for hobby projects. Not fine for regulated industries.
No persistence
Every build starts from scratch. Every dependency re-downloaded. Self-hosted agents cache your tools, warm your builds, and cut pipeline times by 40-60%.
No control
Can't install your security scanners. Can't configure network access. Can't prove to auditors what ran in your build environment. Self-hosted = self-controlled.
Four variants, one security baseline
Pick the image that matches your pipeline. All share the same security-hardened baseline.
Ubuntu Standard
Security-hardened Ubuntu with full security toolchain. Your baseline secure build agent.
