A Bamboo agent is a service that can run job builds. There are the following types of Bamboo agents:

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.
