Hi All,

This question is already asked, but the current LTS version pushing us to use agent due to the security issue. so what will be the further steps. 

Currently we have multiple teams using Jenkins. We have single node Jenkins and master and agent node Jenkins. Those running on master and agent its not an issue. But some teams using only one Jenkin machine as their footprint is very less. Their setup is single VM, only one master node and has less than 10 jobs. For those what is the suggestion? Can we run the jobs on master(In-built node) now or we need to create a agent?  if agent then I have to maintain two VMs or I can have the master and agent on same VM?

Please use the term 'controller' rather than 'master'.  It's a more inclusive term.

You can host an agent on the same virtual machine that runs the controller.  Use a separate account for the agent so that you can use file system permissions to prevent the agent from reading the contents of the JENKINS_HOME directory.
