How to build windows image on azure dev ops hosted agent

Question

The host agent pool on azure-devops to build windows container, Hosted Windows Container is running Windows Server version 1803.

But I want to deploy on Windows Server 2019, so instead of using Microsoft :1803 images, I'm building from images tagged :ltsc2019.

How can I build my :ltsc2019 images on azure-devops?

Answer 1

EDIT

Microsoft added a new hosted agent: Hosted Windows 2019 with VS 2019.

So you should use this image to build for windows-1809 or windows-2019

Old answer:

FWIW, I ended up creating a windows server 2019 vm on azure to act as a build agent.

Could not manage to build 2019 image in any of the hosted agent pools.
