Create cluster should run in parallel instead of serial

[mikebell]

Background

At the moment we run cluster-create in serial meaning that only one person can build a test cluster at onces. This means that an engineer can be waiting a few hours for a test cluster to become available at busy times (first thing in the morning etc).

The cluster-cretate job should be able to handle creating multiple clusters at once.

Are there any potential issues with doing this? Clusters should not have the same name. How do we solve this?

Testing this now - cp-0205-10-58 and cp-0205-1059

create-cluster / create - 258 started, 259 not in progress

259 - checking max-in-flight is not reached 258 - is building the cluster

If it was in parallel both clusters would be building now.
