Cloudify agents are entities that are installed on hosts that are part of your blueprint, and are used to communicate with Cloudify Manager.

The agents provide a way to:

Execute operations
Execute workflows on deployments

Agent Packages

Cloudify includes a set of agent packages with support for:

CentOS 6.4 / 6.5 (Python 2.6.x) and CentOS 7.x (Python 2.7.x).
RHEL 7.x (Python 2.7.x).
Ubuntu 12.04 / 14.04 (Python 2.7.x).
Windows 2008, and later (Python 2.7.x).

Communication with the manager

The agents communicate with the manager over two channels:

HTTPS on port 53333 - REST API
AMQP over TLS on port 5671 - RabbitMQ

By default, the agent connects to the manager’s private IP as specified during bootstrap. It is possible to define one or more additional IPs/hostnames during the bootstrap, that agents can use to access the manager and specify in the blueprint which one to use by each agent.
