Barak Korren commented on OVIRT-1885:
-------------------------------------
Removing OVIRT-1880 as a blocker and adding OVIRT-2178 as we're probably not going to
use beaker directly for B.M. slaves and instead rely on CentOS CI and Duffy.
Remove slave/resource management from Jenkins
---------------------------------------------
Key: OVIRT-1885
URL:
https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1885
Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Jenkins Master, Jenkins Slaves
Reporter: Barak Korren
Assignee: infra
Labels: scale
The way out infra is configure right now, resource allocation and management is done by
Jenkins itself. This means that all resources need to pre-allocated to Jenkins in the form
of slaves.
If we want to have separate Jenkins masters, our current configuration will force us to
hard-split the resources between different Jenkins masters.
If we want to share our pool of resources between multiple masters, it means that
resource allocation needs to move out of Jenkins to external tools.
Potential tools for different types of resources are:
* Beaker for managing physical hosts
* oVirt + a Jenkins could provider plugin for managing VMs
* OpenShift for managing containers (As a replacement for chroots).
