Hi Kirill
If our Build Agent starts a build by invoking a Virtual Machine manager like VMWARE, which loads an image with a new o/s and database say, can that VM become a build agent in its own right and take over the rest of the build?
From the outside it would look (i think) like a new Build Agent appearing on the grid, but if possible it should only be available to carry out the specific build that created it.
Maybe by re-writing the buildAgent.properties file on the VM filesystem and chaining a second build with a configuration requiring a unique property in that buildAgent.properties ?
