We are heavily utilizing the Docker agent support for Bamboo which has been a very useful feature. However, in many cases it would be great to not having to pre-provision Docker based build agents and have them created on a per-need basis for builds/deployments. After the build/deployment the instance can optionally be terminated. I see this more or less similar to Bamboo's support for EC2 agents which have similar features.

[BAM-15419] Dynamically provisioned Docker build agents / Elastic Docker
We (Atlassian Build engineering, not Bambo team) have recently open sourced a set of plugins that spin up Docker based agents on demand. Each agent will build the single job it was triggered for and get removed afterwards.
Any updates to this?
Looking to start using Docker to help isolate builds with a a limited number of build agents using docker.. This seems like a good direction given the already built framework for start/stop of Elastic Agents..
It seems like this could be easily done with EC2 if the scripts for custom AMI's were updated to launch a docker container rather than installing and running the agent jar natively. Looking at the scripts it seems that they are specific to the Elastic Agent install, which wouldn't pick up the standard remote agent. Currently this is keeping us from using the EC2 integration to auto-scale our agents, which has become a very important feature that we've been trying to implement.
Sten, thanks for the quick response. Excited to see what you guys come up with!
That's a great suggestion and this is something that we've been thinking about lately. It's going to be a bit of a challenge but it's one that we really want to tackle!
Thanks,
