Run Jenkins cluster #11

Open pburkholder opened 7 years ago

pburkholder commented 7 years ago

With #10 we demonstrated repeatably building a single Jenkins leader.

For this, build:

[ ] a single linux Jenkins leader, using some of the above tooling
- [ ] need to move to Oracle Linux base image
[ ] two Windows 2012R2 Jenkins worker nodes
- [ ] join to Jenkins leader.

Leverage marketplace images, if possible

The marketplace images for Jenkins all seem to be specific to Linux.

There is this plugin: https://github.com/jenkinsci/azure-slave-plugin

and this update to the README: https://github.com/jenkinsci/azure-slave-plugin/pull/36/files

This could be an Epic all to itself.

I'm going to first install a Jenkins executor on Windows box by hand, then join the Jenkins master, to understand the process.

We have Jenkins installing with #16 using DSC, but DSC has issues that make it unsuitable for as the core infrastructure-as-code approach. So we'll keep this issue open to tackle the approach using Chef + Kitchen + Windows to run Jenkins.
