Correct arrangement

  • Create a deployment group
  • Add the Azure Pipelines Agent extension to the virtual machines
  • Add and configure a deployment group job for the pipeline
  • Execute the pipeline

Explanation

To deploy applications to existing VMs using Azure Pipelines, you must first create a deployment group (which registers the target VMs as deployment targets), then install the Azure Pipelines Agent extension on each VM (which connects them to the deployment group), then configure a deployment group job in the pipeline to define how the deployment runs, and finally execute the pipeline to trigger the actual deployment. This sequence ensures the infrastructure is registered and configured before the pipeline is run.
