A Bamboo agent is a service that can run job builds. There are the following types of Bamboo agents:
local agents run as part of the Bamboo server.
- 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).
ローカル エージェントは、Bamboo Server のプロセス、つまりサーバーと同じ JVM で実行されます。各リモート エージェントは独自のプロセスで (つまり独自の JVM で) 実行されます。
Each agent has a defined set of capabilities and can only run builds for jobs whose requirements match the agent's capabilities.
