Why does it take 10 minutes for elastic bamboo to start remote agent?

[adambrengesjo]

We use elastic bamboo, with windows images.

When bamboo starts instances, the instances' up time is roughly 10 minutes before the agent is available.

Actually this is a recurrent complaint, Atlassian is working to speed up the process from their side but on Amazon's end is still takes about 8 minutes to start up the instance. There's a improvement request open regarding this here: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BAM-13111

I recommend you to vote for it and a add a comment explaining how this is affecting you, most people don't realize but the more activity you have on a improvement request the more likely it is to be implemented.

Hope this information helps!

Did you compare it against a plain Windows 2008 R2 on the same instance type?
