# Blue Agent



[Blue Agent](https://github.com/clemlesne/blue-agent) is self-hosted agent in Kubernetes, cheap to run, secure, auto-scaled and easy to deploy.

## Celebrating the community

We broke through 2,000,000 container pulls in August! 🎉

## Features

- 🏗️ Allow to build containers inside the agent using [BuildKit](https://github.com/moby/buildkit).

- 💪 Performances can be customized depending of the engineering needs, which goes far beyond the Microsoft-hosted agent.

- 📵 Can run air-gapped (no internet access).

- 🔄 Agent register and restart itself.

- 🔧 Packaged with common automation tools ([jq](https://github.com/stedolan/jq), [PowerShell Core](https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell), [Python 3.12](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.12.html), [rsync](https://rsync.samba.org), ...).

- 🖥️ Available with [Azure Linux](https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux), [Debian](https://debian.org), [Ubuntu](https://ubuntu.com), [Red Hat Enterprise Linux](https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-enterprise-linux) and [Windows Server](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server)

## Best practices for safety

- 💰 Cheap to run (dynamic provisioning of agents, can scale from 0 to 100+ in few seconds with [KEDA](https://keda.sh)).

- 📦 [SBOM (Software Bill of Materials)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_supply_chain) is packaged with each container image.

- 🔄 System updates are applied every day.

- 🔒 Build authenticity can be cryptographically verified with [Cosign](https://github.com/sigstore/cosign) and GPG.

- 🪶 Slim container images by design.

## How to deploy

[Deployment is available](https://clemlesne.github.io/blue-agent/docs/getting-started) using Helm on a Kubernetes cluster or Bicep on Azure Container Apps.
