Connect an Agent to your space

Next, let's connect a Torque agent. The agent is basically Torque code that launches and provisions the environment infrastructure. For example, if a blueprint contains a terraform module or a helm chart to provision resources, the agent will run commands such as terraform apply or helm install.

Note:

The infrastructure resources of the environment may be deployed to other clouds or platforms.

Torque supports two types of agents:

• Quali-hosted agent is provided with Torque and supports running single-asset blueprints one at a time. See Using the Quali-hosted agent
• Self-hosted agent is an agent you create and connect to the cluster. See Connect a Kubernetes Cluster.
