Hello all, I'd like your advice on dynamically created Windows instance (through the "Cloud VSphere Plugin" but whatever). It's not directly Jenkins-related but maybe you have advice on tool/plugins to use with Jenkins.
How can we then control the newly instanciated Windows to deploy and run software onto it ? (Let's call "master Jenkins" the Jenkins instance that has run the "Cloud VSphere Plugin"). - pre configured Jenkins Slave. base Windows image would contains a Jenkins Slave that connects on startup to the "master Jenkins". Is there a problem ? Limited to one slave ? We'd like to have dynamic slave creation. - use an automation tool/server directly installed in the base image (Ansible ? Chef ? Puppet ?) - connect through powershell remoting capabilities (WinRM ?) ? The baseImage would have to be pre-configured to allow WinRM connections. It seems to me that WinRM is the way to go, but do you have any advice to remote control dynamically created Windows boxes ? One last note: the goal is in the end to run the installation and auto-tests of *graphical* (as in non-headless) software.
