Or does another machine do the real work? In this lab, we go behind the scenes of Jenkins and understand the Controller-Agent architecture from the ground up. Then we build it for real. 🚀 In this video, you will: • Understand Jenkins Controller vs Agent • See how Jenkins decides where a job runs • Understand Static vs Dynamic Agents • Create a Static Jenkins Agent • Connect it using the Jenkins Inbound Agent method • Run the agent in the background • Make the agent persistent using systemd • See what happens when the agent disconnects • Understand how Jenkins URL and connectivity affect the agent This is where we move from simply running Jenkins pipelines to understanding what is actually happening underneath them. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔧 LAB ENVIRONMENT Jenkins Controller Jenkins Static Agent Linux VM Jenkins Inbound Agent Java systemd Cloudflare Tunnel ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This is part of my hands-on DevOps & Jenkins Lab series, where we build Jenkins step by step and understand not just how to use it, but what is happening behind the scenes.
