Update Jenkins terminology
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Jenkins now uses the following terminology for distributed architecture:

ControllerMain node running the Jenkins software
AgentNodes to build jobs

Jenkins images and ops repositories should reflect that change.

✊🏿 Nasqueron believes black lives matter and support the willingness of upstream projects to use a non-offensive terminology.

DevCentral update: Updated tasks and passphrases to use "agent" word.

Commits and their code review will kept for technical correctness. In such cases, a note this doesn't should be read as a support of those words and the update should be added where appropriate.

I've rebuilt and push to Docker Hub a fresh set of jenkins-agent-* images.

It failed for Node per T1651, so retagged and pushed the legacy image for jenkins-agent-node instead.
