Multiple ssh remotes in one jenkins pipeline - jenkins

Question

Could I use many remotes in one jenkins pipeline using SSH Pipeline Steps plugin?
Now my pipeline looks like this:
def remote = [:]
remote.name = 'PRE-DEV'
remote.host = 'x.x.x.x'
remote.user = 'jenkins'
remote.identityFile = '/var/lib/jenkins/.ssh/id_rsa'
remote.allowAnyHosts = true
remote.agentForwarding = true
pipeline {
agent any
stages{
stage('BUILD'){
steps{
sshCommand remote: remote, command: "build commands"
}
}
stage('UNIT TESTS'){
steps{
sshCommand remote: remote, command: "tests commands"
}
}
stage('DEPLOY TO DEV'){
steps{
sshCommand remote: remote, command: "scp artifacts push to other vm"
}
}
}
Now i need additional stage ('RUN ON DEV'), where i can run my artifacts on other VM. How can i do it in the same pipeline?

Answer 1

solution one:
you can just define another dict like blow:
def secondRemote = [:]
secondRemote.name = 'PRE-DEV'
secondRemote.host = 'your new host'
secondRemote.user = 'jenkins'
secondRemote.identityFile = '/var/lib/jenkins/.ssh/id_rsa'
secondRemote.allowAnyHosts = true
secondRemote.agentForwarding = true
then use it by
sshCommand remote: secondRemote, command: "your new command"
solution two:
store your private key in jenkins credentials, then using ssh-agent plugin.
