Pull and Run a Linux docker image on an azure pipeline

Question

When pulling and running a Linux docker based image in AZURE PIPELINE, I get this error: "image operating system "Linux" cannot be used on this platform"

1. I create a Linux docker image
2. I pushed the image to azure registry
3. I setup the azure pipeline as follow:
   • Docker CLI
   • Azure CLI:
   • I login to registry
   • Command Line:
   • I do: docker pull image
   • I do: docker run -it image

When I run the pipeline, I get this error: "image operating system "Linux" cannot be used on this platform"

Script output:

I expect to be able to pull the image and run it on Azure DevOps pipeline since I tested the same steps on my local computer with no problems.

Thank you so very much

You can only achieve this using your own windows agent configured to allow to run linux containers on windows. hosted agents wont allow that.
