Spare Pool & Simultaneous Identity

Open hughsaunders opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

The two main features of this PR are:

  1. Spare Pool: this is an option for the pool retention strategy that allows the pool size parameter to specify how many spare instances should be availble. This allows a small pool to be maintained during low usage times, while ensuring that there are always ready nodes for incoming builds.

  2. Single Use Pool: This is an option for the pool retention strategy to only use each node once.

  3. Allow System Assigned and User assigned identities to be allocated simultaneously. The current implementation is checkboxes which makes it look like both can be requested, but the code only allows either/or.

  4. Raise minimum Jenkins version to 2.150.3

  5. Increase frequency of maintenance tasks so that nodes are cleaned up efficiently. On a busy master, having nodes waiting for minutes to be cleaned up means pool sizes have to be higher to account for nodes waiting to be removed.
