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).
