Hello, I fear that these jobs are not taking that many resources as shown by this graph: https://infra-reports.apache.org/#ghactions&project=camel&hours=168&limit=20&group=name
[cid:9ce313bf-37ff-48b8-bd7f-538a6d530356] The 2 "sides" jobs taking most of the time are PR doc validation (6.81%) and PR license checks (3.67%). I think that the PR doc validation is important, when changes are breaking the website it costs more to detect and rebuild what is needed. For the PR license check, given that it is checking only the top-level, we could deactivate for now, or investigate why it is taking so much time just for that. Now that we have a much faster and stable Jenkins builds, I think we could stop testing with JDK 25 on GitHub Actions always. If we can trigger it manually (with a comment or a label) for some specific changes this could be safe enough. The advantage is that it will cut the usage in an important way, potential reduction of 22.6% just with this change. Also note that the whole pool is shared among all Apache projects. Our usage is important but not that much significant, improvements on our side alone won't impact much on the queue time. See for instance https://the-asf.slack.com/archives/CBX4TSBQ8/p1792608273652369?thread_ts=1792520326.623569&cid=CBX4TSBQ8 Other options to look at to improve current state: * Run PR jobs on user fork by default * Investigate to fund self-hosted runners (so means doing some try with different machine size and compare cost/time gain and security analysis) * Investigate to use Apache Jenkins nodes which seems slightly less crowded (but not far from being full from what I observed) * Investigate using Windows Ci runners which are on another shared pool which doesn't seem to be at max capacity currently * Work at Apache org level to monitor and help other high consumers to reduce their usage * A bit selfish and temporary workaround: avoid usage of ubuntu-latest and precise the name to be part of another queue https://the-asf.slack.com/archives/C0B835NQG6P/p1792614064793079 regards, ________________________________ From: Claus Ibsen <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2026 8:38 PM To: dev <[email protected]> Subject: [EXTERNAL] [IMPORTANT] - Reduce CI GH actions jobs Hi The GH actions are dead slow since its overloaded with jobs that stay queded for many hours or even until next day. It hurt us here at Camel. I noticed in GH actions we have some small jobs that does pr-comments pr-label and what else. So in light of this then lets disable as much as possible so we only run GH jobs that does what we need right now - to build and test the PR and nothing else. Can folks that have knowledge and built those GH actions come forward and help with this. We have them listed (to my understanding in .github) https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_apache_camel_tree_main_.github_actions&d=DwIBaQ&c=BSDicqBQBDjDI9RkVyTcHQ&r=0vLfrqGC45Y6-8J0B2MbyQ&m=pQcU-eLBd1D_ihHpe2u2vaeR4ju_HCV_7mOoBEoKJrkaYweCD2lhnl2wlnzyHuxa&s=0xBCldAAAAaUqbDoVLAIpk--Iwf4Vg4PB9PWDn8k4R0&e= -- Claus Ibsen Unless otherwise stated above: Compagnie IBM France Siège Social : 17, avenue de l'Europe, 92275 Bois-Colombes Cedex RCS Nanterre 552 118 465 Forme Sociale : S.A.S.
