Controlling builds

1 minute read

CloudBees CI has several plugins that help control builds. This section describes how to use each of them.

All the Pipeline examples in this section are created assuming that the agent with the required tools to complete the build is properly selected. If you plan to test them using ephemeral agents (Kubernetes-based or Docker agents), review the Selecting agents page.
