Lab/Demo: Lab: Configuring Agent Pools and Understanding Pipeline Styles

Changes proposed in this pull request:

use the LAB VM (LOD) instead of Azure VM, making the lab easier for the concepts we want to be showing

Hi Unai, please take a look at the suggestions below.

ClementinoDeMendonca-msft · 2021-02-04T02:14:11Z

Instructions/Labs/AZ400_M05_Configuring_Agent_Pools_and_Understanding_Pipeline_Styles.md

    New-Item -Type Directory -Path 'C:\agent'
    Set-Location -Path 'C:\agent'
    Add-Type -AssemblyName System.IO.Compression.FileSystem
    [System.IO.Compression.ZipFile]::ExtractToDirectory("$HOME\Downloads\vsts-agent-win-x64-2.179.0.zip", "$PWD")


Instead of "2.179.0", there should be a placeholder for the version. The download file version will change frequently.

    | ------- | ----- |
    | Enter server URL | the URL of your Azure DevOps organization, in the format **https://dev.azure.com/`<organization_name>`**, where `<organization_name>` represents the name of your Azure DevOps organization |
    | Enter authentication type (press enter for PAT) | **Enter** key | 
    | Enter personal access token | the access token you recorded earlier in this task |


Not your change, but in the previous line, "Enter key" should be just Enter. Also, what do and Michael think about saying "Press Enter" instead. It wasn't clear to some students what "Enter" meant.

-1.  On the **az400m05-vm0** blade, click **Connect**, in the dropdown list, click **RDP**, on the **az400m05-vm0 \| Connect** blade, click **Download RDP File** and open the downloaded RDP file to connect to the **az400m05-vm0** Azure VM by using Remote Desktop. When prompted to sign in, provide the **Student** as the user name and **Pa55w.rd1234** as the password.
-1.  Within the Remote Desktop session to **az400m05-vm0**, start a web browser, navigate to [the Azure DevOps portal](https://dev.azure.com) and sign in by using the Microsoft account associated with your Azure DevOps organization.
-1.  In the Azure DevOps portal, close the **Get the agent** panel, in the upper right corner of the Azure DevOps page, click the **User settings** icon, in the dropdown menu, click **Personal access tokens**, on the **Personal Access Tokens** pane, and click **+ New Token**.
+1.  Within the LOD VM (Lab VM), start a web browser, navigate to [the Azure DevOps portal](https://dev.azure.com) and sign in by using the Microsoft account associated with your Azure DevOps organization.


Let's replace "LOD VM" by just "Lab Virtual machine (Lab VM) or your own computer". This lab should not depend on a particular vendor VM or being on a VM at all.

 1.  Back on the **Create New Project** page, select the checkbox below the **ARM Outputs** label, and click **Create Project**

    > **Note**: Wait for the process to complete. This should take about 2 minutes. In case the process fails, navigate to your DevOps organization, delete the project, and try again.



This comment is not related to this line, but to the line above "Estimated time: 90 minutes". Could you switch it to "45 minutes" (It was actually less when tested in class).

Also the whole sections above on "Prepare an Azure subscription" and "Set up a GitHub account" are not needed.

-    | Enter work folder (press enter for _work) | **C:\agent** |
+    | Enter work folder (press enter for _work) | **Enter** |
    | Enter Perform an unzip for tasks for each step. (press enter for N) | **Enter** |
    | Enter run agent as service? (Y/N) (press enter for N) | **Enter** |


I prefer saying Y have it run as a service, in case the student needs to reboot the VM. Choose so also makes unnecessary the next question on autologon.

Instructions/Labs/AZ400_M05_Configuring_Agent_Pools_and_Understanding_Pipeline_Styles.md

 1.  In the Azure DevOps portal, in the vertical navigational pane on the left side, in the **Pipelines** section, click **Pipelines**. 
 1.  On the **Recent** tab of the **Pipelines** pane, click the **PartsUnlimitedE2E** entry. 
-1.  On the **Runs** tab of the **PartsUnlimitedE2E** pane, in the upper right corner, click the vertical ellipsis symbol and, in the dropdown menu, click **Export to YAML**. This will automatically download the **build.yml** file to your local **Downloads** folder.
+1.  On the **Runs** tab of the **PartsUnlimitedE2E** pane, in the upper right corner, click the vertical ellipsis (three vertical dots) symbol and, in the dropdown menu, click **Export to YAML**. This will automatically download the **build.yml** file to your local **Downloads** folder.


The exported yaml file is actually called "PartsUnlimitedE2E.yml" not "build.yml".

All fixes proposed in comments added 👍 @ClementinoDeMendonca-msft

Thank you Unai, this will expedite doing this lab, allowing students to focus on Azure DevOps instead of a side topic on creating a virtual machine. At that the first part was more of an AZ-104 lab.

conflict resolved, we should be able to approve the PR now :)
