iRODS Build and Test - 2018 Promises

​

• Increase coverage                                         (more plugins in CI)

 

• Move pipeline scripts to GitHub                 (no logic in Jenkins)

 

• Address inconsistency                                  (false reds / pyvmomi errors)

 

• Containerize Jenkins                                     (easier to test / update / redeploy)

 

• Possibly move from VMs to containers     (speed / fewer moving parts)

iRODS Build and Test - Architecture

iRODS Build and Test - Containers

• Total Containers Launched = 20
• Addition of another OS will add 10 more containers during testing
• Number of Containers Launched is Multiplicative

 

 

iRODS Build and Test - Future

• Make Jenkins Public
• Increase Coverage
  
• Use Kubernetes for scaling purposes
