Agent Cloud Profile

Configuring a cloud provider profile is one of the steps required to TeamCity Integration with Cloud Solutions between TeamCity and a cloud provider.

A cloud profile is a collection of settings for TeamCity to start virtual machines with installed TeamCity agents on-demand while distributing a build queue.

Profiles are configured on the TeamCity | Administration | Agent Cloud page. The TeamCity server URL must be accessible to the build agent.

The settings of profiles slightly vary depending on the integrated cloud type.

After an Agent Cloud profile is created with one or several sources for virtual machines, TeamCity does a test start for all the virtual machines specified in the profile to learn about the agents configured on them. Once agents are connected, TeamCity calculates their build configurations-to-agents compatibility and stores this information.

The agents information is displayed on the Agents | Cloud page under the <Profile name> drop-down.
