Q 81. What is the connection between master and
slave?
In a
standard Jenkins master/slave setup, Jenkins is only installed on the master.
That is where you see the user interface and start/configure build jobs.
The slaves execute the jobs.
There is no Jenkins installation here other than a small Java
app to have Jenkins communicate to/from the slave. Jenkins talks to these
slaves through the slave.jar app over e.g. SSH via the SSH Slaves Plugin and can monitor if the slave is
running, etc.
