The cross platform build and release agent for Team Services and Team Foundation Server 2015 and beyond. This will be replacing/combining the existing closed source windows build agent and the existing xplat agent
Supported on Windows, OSX, Ubuntu and Red Hat. Written for the .NET Core CLR as one code base in C#.
A preview is available for Ubuntu, RedHat and OSX for VSTS. The current preview is more feature complete than the node agent bringing Auto Update, Cancellation, Run as a svc on OSX and Linux, and Gated support.
What's missing from the preview? On-prem NTLM support is in the works so preview with Team Services.
