Container agent downloading plugins when already installed.
Answered
We are attempting to speed up the time an agent comes online utilizing AWS ECS profile. Within our image, we are adding all the agent plugins from the full zip file distribution to the agent's plugin directory. When the agent comes online, it unpacks the plugins but it still performs and upgrade and pulls them down again.
What are we missing?

I think you may also need to include the /system/.teamcity-agent folder from the full zip distribution. There is a file called teamcity-agent.xml, which contains the agent state information that the TeamCity server uses to determine if an upgrade is necessary.
Thanks. That's probably what I was missing, but we've since moved on building our image from scratch and utilizing the complete buildAgentFull.zip agent install.
