在单个服务器 Azure DevOps 服务器中自动构建

Question

If i'm deploy azure devops server on single machine, why extensive use of automated build, test, or release likely will cause performance issues ?

thanks!

Answer 1

A single-server deployment consists of a single machine and it likely will cause performance issues because of the following reason:

• Limited size of RAM. For evaluation or personal use - 2 GB, scale up to 250 users - 4 GB and scale up to 500 users - 8 GB.

You can refer to Requirements for Azure DevOps on-premises

Answer 2

To be honest, it really depends on the server and its specs. If it had RAID SSDs, 64GB memory and an AMD 32 core Ryzen Threadripper, I'd not be worried too much :o).

But it you're running multiple parallel build jobs on a server it will have to handle massive I/O on the drives and CPU may spike, many compilers know very well how to make use of all the CPU cores you hand to them.
