Common problems

TeamCity starts virtual machine but agent is not connected

To retrieve server configuration details, the TeamCity build agent needs to read the following files:

• %SYSTEMDRIVE%\AzureData\CustomData.bin on Windows
• /var/lib/waagent/ovf-env.xml in Linux

Please check that user under which TeamCity build agent is running has read access permissions to the mentioned files.

TeamCity starts virtual machine instance but agent is Unauthorized

To resolve it please add the following line in the buildagent.properties file:

azure.instance.name=<agent_name>

where <agent_name> should coincide with the vm name of running cloud instance.

Container instance-based images are reporting problem "Microsoft.ContainerInstance is not available in xxx region"

You need to register "Microsoft.ContainerInstance" provider in your subscription.
