What I built
Created a community Codespace that has an Azure Pipelines agent built into the Codespace. The Codespace can register itself via Codepsace Secrets as a self-hosted Azure pipelines agent into an Azure DevOps Agent pool, and be used to run Azure pipelines using the compute power of the Codespace.

Azure Pipelines Agent
Self hosted Azure Pipelines agent registers on agent pool and runs inside Codespace at launch
Description
Use and utelise your codespace compute power to also run a self hosted azure pipelines agent. This devcontainer can be used as a codespace that will create and attach a self-hosted azure pipelines agent inside of the codespace and attach/register the ADO agent with an Azure DevOps agent pool by using secrets for codespaces as parameter values:

Background (What made you decide to build this particular app? What inspired you?)
Wanted to create a way to be able to build as well as test my Azure Pipelines (CI/CD) processes, but not have the hassle and costs of building a separate self hosted agent. To instead utilise the same Codespace I'm already working in to also use as my Azure Pipelines agent.
How I built it (How did you utilize GitHub Actions or GitHub Codespaces? Did you learn something new along the way? Pick up a new skill?)
Learned how to create community Codepsaces to contribute to the wider Dev community and I hope that many others will find my Codespace useful and also contribute to making it even better.
