I deployed a dedicated Jenkins agent on a Google Cloud Compute Engine instance to support distributed build execution for selected projects. This agent was configured to connect securely to the existing Jenkins master hosted in a separate environment, enabling offloaded builds for resource-intensive pipelines.

The setup was specifically designed so that when Project X initiates a build through the Jenkins master, the workload is delegated and executed by this GCP-hosted agent. This approach improves build performance, reduces load on the main Jenkins environment, and enables better scalability and isolation across teams.
