Bamboo 3.4 : Working with Elastic Bamboo

Elastic Bamboo is a feature in Bamboo that allows you to utilise computing resources from the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) to run Job builds. Elastic Bamboo uses a remote agent AMI (Amazon Machine Image) to create instances of remote agents in the Amazon EC2. Job builds can be run on these 'elastic agents' in the same way that Job builds are run on local and remote agents.
