Viewing Bamboo's agents
A Bamboo agent is a service that can run job builds. There are the following types of Bamboo agents:
- Remote agents run on computers other than the Bamboo server, that run the remote agent tool
- Elastic agents run in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
- Ephemeral agents are a short-lived remote agents that start on-demand inside a Kubernetes cluster to carry out a single build or deployment before being shut down.
Each remote agent runs in its own process (that is, has its own JVM) and has a defined set of capabilities. The latter means that an agent can only run builds for jobs whose requirements match the agent's capabilities.
To view agents that are currently active, see Using the Bamboo dashboard.
