Summary
In this chapter, we learned how a distributed Jenkins system works. We learned how to create and maintain slave nodes in Jenkins. We also developed our skills and learned how to scale our slave nodes to fit a development organization of any size. The master/slave node concept is really one of Jenkins shining points, it's a true distributed computing platform, and can be leveraged to create some really awesome solutions.
In the next chapter, we will begin to dissect views and Jenkins jobs. Together, we will begin to leverage the automation capabilities of this powerful platform.
