Can YAML Pipeline detect cloud vs Self-Hosted build?

Question

Is it possible to determine within a single YAML Pipeline whether the agent is running self-hosted or in a cloud build? If so, how would one go about determining that?

I need my pipeline to work in both locations but certain steps must only occur if I'm building on one or the other.

Answer 1

I can't find directly solution, but it could be done using conditions and agent variables.

For example I have Hosted Agent in my agents pool:

And in YAML I can use this name to condition running step depents on it:

steps:
- script: dotnet build --configuration $(buildConfiguration)
  condition: eq(variables['Agent.Name'],'Hosted Agent') 
  displayName: 'dotnet build $(buildConfiguration)'
