A resource is a host cluster container for both static hosts and cloud burst hosts that will participate in a build. You can create a resource to contain solely static hosts, solely cloud burst hosts, or a combination of each. For more information about resources, the purpose of resources, and a description of static versus cloud burst hosts, see Working with Resources.
For cloud burst hosts, you need your cloud provider credentials and all details for your cloud instance. You must have set up your Azure Services Platform, Amazon EC2, Google Cloud Platform, or Kubernetes containers in advance. For details, see the CloudBees Build Acceleration Installation Guide and the CloudBees Build Acceleration Configuration Guide.

| If agents on Amazon EC2 do not connect to the Cluster Manager after an instance runs for four minutes, they are considered to be stalled. Upon a subsequent agent request, if the instance is stalled for the resource, the instance is terminated, and the agent request returns an error (which kills the build). If you kill a build manually, the instance is also terminated once it is recognized as stalled. |
