Serverless "one-shot" masters #18

Closed ndeloof closed 5 years ago

ndeloof commented 6 years ago

On a large Jenkins deployment one might want to offload jenkins master to some "side" masters for pipeline execution.

We could rely on jenkinsfile-runner for such a "one-shot" master, applying https://github.com/kohsuke/jenkinsfile-runner/issues/15 for configuration with adequate configuration scoped to a specific job, and on completion sync back build results to the main jenkins master (comparable to build-publisher plugin).

A full featured implementation would require some architecture effort for jenkins to be a cloud-native citizen, but it sounds to me we could rely on jenkinsfile-runner to demonstrate such a deployment and check interest for community in this direction.

I'm very interested in such an effort. Is there any progress on this, or any 'central' place where this is discussed?

ndeloof commented 6 years ago

best place to discuss this is jenkins-dev mailing list.

I've used this successfully to run our Jenkins pipeline on travisci, and I've described the how and the why here.

I believe this is completed. Tooling is provided by Custom WAR Packager

Closing since there is no negative response about the suggestion above.
