Our Jenkins instances are running in the cloud, hosted on OpenShift Flex and used to build and test OpenShift

6. Jenkins User Conference Jenkins User Conference San Francisco, Oct 2 nd 2011 #jenkinsconf Code Contributions Memory leaks: Involved in diagnosis, resolution In the Hudson timeframe, we contributed to stability through reporting of bugs/instability (large deployment) First ones to run into these types of problems (pure volume) LTS (long term support - Jenkins stable branch) Development and maintenance of plugins (see previous) reporting bug + bug fixes

7. Jenkins User Conference Jenkins User Conference San Francisco, Oct 2 nd 2011 #jenkinsconf Experiences/Pitfalls/Lessons learned 1 master may not handle all jobs at once - potentially provide failover functionality on Jenkins Jobs getting stuck due to polling console output through ssh. Need to limit jobs from writing to console. Disk Utilization issues - Overcome through quotas set on jobs Logging was too verbose, Jenkins instance stalled due to low/no disk space OOM issues when trying to view the giant logs - fix in progress

8. Jenkins User Conference Jenkins User Conference San Francisco, Oct 2 nd 2011 #jenkinsconf Best Practices Set limits on memory usage (quota) of slave Set limits (quota) on Disk usage for jobs Tools on shared NFS drive – for maintenance and replication/recovery Memory – lots of memory to buffer incremental growth of Master Jenkins master and all slaves under CFEngine control (config management/recovery) Like all reliable services, use Dev/Stg/Prod increments. Can scale vertically, but has anyone tried scaling horizontally?
