[cbi-dev] More Cluster compute power

[Denis Roy <denis.roy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings folks,

Just to keep you informed -- since our last communication on the subject
was more than a month ago:

https://www.eclipse.org/lists/cbi-dev/msg02025.html

Fred has been working feverishly on migrating JIPPs to Jiro* - our
OpenShift/Kubernetes cluster edition of Jenkins. When your project is up
for migration, Fred will file a bug, include you in the CC box and do
most of the work. Please be attentive and confirm that the migration
works (or not).

Next week we'll be adding 40% compute capacity to the OpenShift cluster,
in terms of raw processor count. The new hardware also marks a
significant shift for us, as we've historically favoured parallel tasks
at the expense of clock speed (slower CPUs, more cores). In this case,
we're favouring faster CPUs (3.7 GHz vs 2.10) with fewer cores. This
should help accelerate single-threaded build tasks.

These are certainly exciting times for Eclipse CBI!

Thanks for your assistance and patience while we modernize our build infra.


Denis
