Hello all, Apache Infra have announced that they are retiring their existing Jenkins infrastructure in favour of a new one managed by CloudBees. Details below, but TL;DR every project is responsible for manually setting up their project's jobs on the new Jenkins instance (as an automated migration is not possible.)
Do any of our committers have availability to do this before the deadline of 15th August? I've requested that a Brooklyn folder is added. Once this is available (within a day I expect) all Brooklyn committers should be able to create and manage jobs in that folder. Richard. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Gavin McDonald <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2020 at 17:33 Subject: [IMPORTANT] - Migration to ci-builds.a.o To: builds <[email protected]> Hi All, This NOTICE is for everyone on builds.apache.org. We are migrating to a new Cloudbees based Client Master called https://ci-builds.apache.org. The migrations of all jobs needs to be done before the switch off date of 15th August 2020, so you have a maximum of 4 weeks. There is no tool or automated way of migrating your jobs, the differences in the platforms, the plugins and the setup makes it impossible to do in a safe way. So, you all need to start creating new jobs on ci-infra.a.o and then , when you are happy, turn off your old builds on builds.a.o. There are currently 4 agents over there ready to take jobs, plus a floating agent which is shared amongst many masters (more to come). I will migrate away 2 more agents from builds.a.o to ci-builds.a.o every few days, and will keep an eye of load across both and adjust accordingly. If needed, create a ticket on INFRA jira for any issues that crop up, or email here on [email protected]. there may be one or two plugins we need to install/tweak etc. We will be not using 'Views' at the top level, but rather we will take advantage of 'Folders Plus' - each project will get its own Folder and have authorisation access to create/edit jobs etc within that folder. I will create these folders as you ask for them to start with. This setup allows for credentials isolation amongst other benefits, including but not limited to exclusive agents (Controlled Agents) for your own use , should you have any project targeted donations of agents. As with other aspects of the ASF, projects can choose to just enable all committers access to their folder, just ask. We will re-use builds.apache.org as a CNAME to ci-builds.a.o but will not be setting up any forwarding rules or anything like that. So, please, get started *now *on this so you can be sure we are all completed before the final cutoff date of 15th August 2020. Any questions - I expect a few (dozen :) ) - ask away and/or file INFRA tickets. Hadoop and related projects have their own migration path to follow, same cut off date, Cassandra, Beam, CouchDB have already migrated and are doing very well in their new homes. Lets get going ... -- *Gavin McDonald* Systems Administrator ASF Infrastructure Team
