i just turned up a new jenkins slave (amp-jenkins-worker-01) to ensure it
builds properly. these machines have half the ram, same number of
processors and more disk, which will hopefully help us achieve more than
the ~15-20% system utilization we're getting on the current
amp-jenkins-slave-{01..05} nodes.
instead of 5 super beefy slaves w/16 workers each, we're planning on 8 less
beefy slaves w/12 workers each. this should definitely cut down on the
build queue, and not impact build times in a negative way at all.
i'll keep a close eye on amp-jenkins-worker-01 before i start releasing the
other seven in to the wild.
there should be a minimal user impact, but if i happen to miss something,
please don't hesitate to let me know!
thanks,
shane
