PLAN YOUR ENVIRONMENT

Leave room for the work you build.

The server and agent have different jobs. Size them for your repositories, tools, concurrent builds, and artifacts.

ComponentCPU baselineMemory baselineStarting storage allowance
Server2+ cores4 GB20 GB
Build agent2+ cores2 GB10 GB

These are planning baselines, with storage headroom above the current download page minimums. Build tools, database growth, checkouts, and artifacts need additional capacity. Follow the requirements for your selected release.

MongoDB

Included through the Windows unified setup; configure it separately for Linux, macOS, or container deployments.

Build tools

Install the SDKs, runtimes, shells, and utilities required by your steps on the selected agents.

Network access

Ensure the server, database, agents, and repositories can communicate as required by the setup guide.
