Is it possible to set up appveyor to build and run tests on a machine that I specify (external agent)?

I have a machine with some hardware needed for my tests so Virtual Machines wouldn't work for me.

Thanks.

   We are working on this feature currently. No ETA yet, but it is something which we already testing internally :)

   I too am eagerly waiting for this feature. My testing requires access to internal web services that cannot be hosted elsewhere. I hate asking for ETA's in a public forum, but is this a feature we can see released soon? Will this be an Enterprise only feature?

   Yes! Please look here and let us know account name if you want to try it.

   It is actually implemented for Hyper-V, Amazon, GCE, Docker and local process too, but Azure is what is fully documented right now.

   Thanks!
   Ilya.

   @Ilya, thank you. I've sent an email request to have my account enabled for this feature.
