Hello devs, I started a parallel activity to tease out CI work on using ASF jenkins and also Github actions (though GHA has several issues). I wanted to provide some updates on these efforts and seek if others are interested to collaborate.
Jenkins - Was waiting for INFRA to create a high level folder[1] to host all Geode jobs and have a basic unit test pipeline[2] that runs tests on Ubuntu using Oracle JDK 8. While there are failing tests[3] that need some help, I am still exploring ways to write pipelines and include multiple JDKs into a single JOB, so we can build using 8 while we test using 11. GHA - While it is super quick and easy to start writing a pipeline[4] using "matrix and strategy", There are few tests[5] failing consistently using Adopt JDK 8 on Ubuntu.
