How to build a windows docker container for Azure pipeline container job?

Question

Questions about migrating Jenkins to Azure pipeline:

1. My .net project building requires VS buildtool 2017, Windows SDK and WDK installed. If I use agent pool (MS hosted VM) to build project, are WDK and SDK of required version available in the agent pool (Hosted VM like vs2017-win2016)?

2. If hosted agent cannot do that, how can I build a Win container for Azure pipeling container job, whch is similar to below jenkins agent container, Is there any dockefile example available? thanks?

Dockerfile for jenkins windows agent:

Answer 1

are WDK and SDK of required version available in the agent pool (Hosted VM like vs2017-win2016)?

Here are some specific versions of SDK and WDK that are installed on the Hosted Agent by default, you can check whether their version meets your requirements:

virtual-environments for Hosted Agent vs2017-win2016

On the other hand, you could also create your private agent to install those components in the private agent.

Is there any dockefile example available? thanks?

You could create a container and install that components in that container. You could check this document for some more details:

Install Build Tools into a container

Hope this helps.
