I know, I know, it sounds tough, but don't worry, I've got your back! πŸ™Œ

Before we get to the options, let me say if you're a Software, QA, or DevOps Engineer, you need to know about Jenkins agents. They're like the gladiators of software development, performing build and test operations on behalf of the Jenkins master node. πŸ—οΈπŸ‘Š
