Azure-devops-docs: Use docker hub

[firestonem]

Right now these instructions are "paste these files onto your computer and build it yourself". MS has a public Dockerhub account https://hub.docker.com/u/microsoft/ where officially-built images can be hosted and distributed. Just a good-practice suggestion

Strange thing is there's this: https://hub.docker.com/_/microsoft-azure-pipelines-vsts-agent?tab=description

This seems to be deprecated, according to its docs. Why? Also those images are pretty old (22-1-2019).

This has recent releases posted in GitHub, but unfortunately does not seem to be for docker: https://github.com/Microsoft/azure-pipelines-image-generation

@kwaazaar yes I can't figure out why they would deprecate those images, makes no sens to me.

Copy and pasting scripts is error prone, inheriting from an image is not.

Hi everybody, I created a Docker image on the hub which contains .NET Core 3 SDK, Docker within Docker, SQL Server commands clients and more --> wizzapi/azpdockeragent
It's a fork of microsoft-azure-pipelines-vsts-agent:ubuntu-16.04-docker-18.06.1-ce-standard

Microsoft are incredibly confused about their build agent strategy. Deprecating the Docker agents in favour of Packer was a terrible idea considering how much more effort Packer builds in comparison.

The Dockerhub images and the Helm chart were perfect, easily integrated into things like Kubernetes or ACI. Literally took 5 minutes effort to deploy build agents across our clusters.

Now we have to deal with this rubbish.
