Agent Requirements
Agent requirements are a set of conditions that must be met before the stage will execute on a particular agent.

Note that these conditions give you fine grain control over the configuration and stages. It's possible to make the entire Configuration execute on a single agent, but having agent requirements allows you to force one stage to run on a specific agent while letting Continua decide which is the best agent to run the other stages on.
