01/26/2016, 7:50 PMThis is something that's important to either (1) get right the first time, and do it conservatively or (2) Implement as a contrib plugin so it can evolve on its own for a while internally at square - j

01/26/2016, 7:51 PMOk. I will just remove that part of the patch then, since it’s just a matter of how we organize configuration and doesn’t change the end result (so nbd) - h

01/26/2016, 8:36 PM@bored-art-40741: so, what can i/we do to help stabilize jenkins? it sounds like you're already working on the ivy aspect - b
bored-art-40741
01/26/2016, 8:36 PMI have a sort of roadmap in my head - b
bored-art-40741
01/26/2016, 8:36 PMI think I've got 95% of the ivy stuff figured out - b
bored-art-40741
01/26/2016, 8:36 PMThere's just that one failure mode that seems maybe unrelated to the others - b
bored-art-40741
01/26/2016, 8:36 PMI need to - b
bored-art-40741
01/26/2016, 8:37 PM(1) Fix the ivy tests and then push this change - b
bored-art-40741
01/26/2016, 8:37 PM(2) Consider moving away from spot instances and instead use on-demand, smaller containers, with EBS SSDs. They should boot faster, and I can pre-bake an ivy artifact cache on them for somewhat quicker startup - b
bored-art-40741
01/26/2016, 8:38 PM(3) We need to fix the lack of artifact caching for shaded zinc. That eats like 1+ minute every shard - w
witty-crayon-22786
01/26/2016, 8:38 PMre: 3): it should already be cached in the home directory - b
bored-art-40741
01/26/2016, 8:38 PM(4) We should check in the config for the jenkins jobs and programmatically generate the shards, and kill the matrix builds. That way every shard has a link on the PR, and the link goes straight to the console - b

01/26/2016, 8:38 PMNo, it won't be unless I make sure it is - b

01/26/2016, 8:39 PMThis is an AMI that spins up a worker - b
bored-art-40741
01/26/2016, 8:39 PMIt is "blank" unless otherwise pre-configured - w
witty-crayon-22786
01/26/2016, 8:39 PMi see. - b
bored-art-40741
01/26/2016, 8:39 PMBut yeah, we can prebake the cache into the AMI - w
witty-crayon-22786
01/26/2016, 8:40 PMhow difficult would an S3 artifact cache be, i wonder. - b
bored-art-40741
01/26/2016, 8:40 PMWe could do a bintray read-only artifact cache - b
bored-art-40741
01/26/2016, 8:40 PMAnd selectively rebake it during releases or something - w
witty-crayon-22786
01/26/2016, 8:41 PMwell, we already write to the
cache for tool bootstrap~/.cache - b
bored-art-40741
01/26/2016, 8:41 PMSo that most of the time you have the most expensive stuff available, like shaded zinc - w

01/26/2016, 8:41 PMthis would be the same situation - w
