Hi,

I've explored the idea to use jenkins as a remplacement for the queue + archive mechanism of teuthology. It turns out to be jenkins weak point. As Robert Colins ( who recently wrote a HOWTO on how to replicated the CI infrastrcture of OpenStack and is confident someone could do the same within a couple of days https://review.openstack.org/#/c/45346/ ) puts it:

"OpenStack uses jenkins for it's core capabilities - running tests in a work environment, and replaces the scheduler, archiver etc with their own to avoid scaking issues with the naive approaches jenkins has".

Robert further suggested that using the OpenStack CI infrastructure would be a good pick for Ceph.

Cheers

Hi,

In the context of the OpenStack CI, James E. Blair wrote http://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack-infra/nodepool/tree/ which is described in the Nodepool part of http://amo-probos.org/post/15 It seems a good an minimal candidate to provision machines. I'm on irc.freenode.net#openstack-infra where all these tools are discussed and will try to understand more about "gear".

Cheers
