   Summary: 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

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).
