Upcoming Updates for Azure Pipelines Agents Images
Windows Server 2019
As Windows Server 2025 generally available now, we will initiate the deprecation of the Windows Server 2019 as Microsoft Hosted Agent image in Azure Pipelines. We recommend that if you use Windows Server 2019 image in a Microsoft Hosted Agent, you switch to Windows Server 2022 or Windows Server 2025 image.
