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.)

Notes

  • A capability is a feature of an agent. A capability can be a:

    • builder (e.g. Maven)
    • JDK
    • custom capability (a key-value property which defines a particular characteristic of an agent, e.g. 'operating.system=WindowsXP' or 'fast.builds=true')
    • Perforce (location of the P4 client application, if Perforce is being used as the source repository)

    Capabilities can be defined specifically for an agent, or they can be shared between either all local agents or all remote agents. Note that the value of an agent-specific capability overrides the value of a shared capability of the same name (if one exists).
