What are agents? Copy link to heading Copied! Show

A Bamboo agent is a service that provides capabilities to run job builds. Bamboo includes the following types of agents:

  1. Remote agents, which run in their own separate processes (that is, have their own JVM).
  2. Elastic agents, which run in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).
  3. Ephemeral agents, which are short-lived remote agents that start on demand inside a Kubernetes cluster t ocarry out a single build or deployment before being shut down.

Each agent has a defined set of capabilities. An agent's capabilities enable it to run build and deployment jobs with matching requirements.

Agents communicate with Bamboo using the Java Message Service (JMS).

What is the difference between online/offline/disabled agents? Copy link to heading Copied! Show

A Bamboo Agent is a service that provides capabilities to run job builds.

  1. offline agents are disconnected from Bamboo and do not affect billing or licensing.
  2. online agents are connected to Bamboo and consume a license.
  3. disabled is a status set on the agent by an administrator which means they cannot be utilized by builds, however, if they are connected to the server — they are still considered online and will consume a license.
