A Bamboo agent is a service that provides capabilities to run Job builds. There are two types of Bamboo agents:

(info) Local agents run in the server's process, i.e. in the same JVM as the server. Each remote agent runs in its own process, i.e. has its own JVM.)

Each agent has a defined set of capabilities and can only run builds for Jobs whose requirements are met by the agent's capabilities.
