An air-gapped environment is a system that has no access to the outside Internet. To utilize these static nodes, a script is required (downloads it to your machine upon adding a static node), which has certain prerequisites that typically need to be downloaded from the internet. However, in the case of air-gapped build nodes, we are configuring repositories in Artifactory to facilitate the download of these dependencies.
Important
Supported on Pipelines 1.52 and above versions only.
To add an air-gapped node to a static node pool:
View the node pool you want to add a node to.
The View Node Poolpage lists any nodes currently allocated to the pool.
Click Add Node.
