Hello, I'd like to announce the deployment of auto scaling for our CI system (see [1] for reference, setup documentation at [2]) for today at 11:00PM PST 05/15/18. I expect no downtime since these changes are happening outside of Jenkins.
This system will increase the flexibility of our system to be able to handle the increasing load, being a result of the growing number of great contributions! In future, our CI will automatically adapt to the current load and will thus support big tasks like the to-be-migrated nightly tests or increased load before a release. Additionally, we're now able to provide scalable p3.2xlarge instances and have the possibility to add new instance types without much effort. In future, you will see that new slaves are being started up as the queue grows and stopped if they go into idle. Your tasks will automatically be picked up and our system makes sure every PR gets processes as fast as possible. If you encounter any issues in the next week, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'm looking forward to everyones feedback!
