Hi Jozo,

Yes, I was using the less incendiary term for the distributed build agents
(or slaves), so you found the right docs.

"Container" was referring to something like, but not necessarily Docker
containers.

When you use agents, you are typically do it to:

  * unload the load from the build master
  * need to build on different operating system or architecture from the
master
  * need to build in an isolated or preconfigured environment different
from the master

That last one would seem to align with your question, unless there's a
reason you didn't want to use distributed builds.

Hope that helps,

Brent
