Thanks for the offer, we'd love to take you up on that. We'd be looking at a K8s proof of concept deployment in AWS. Cloudbees has also offered some expertise in getting us set up on the Jenkins side. Some questions:
- can I get a show of hands as to which project(s) in general would be interested in a kubernetes build environment integrated with jenkins - who would be interested in participating in a small-scale pilot? I'd also like to bring our existing Docker implementation into the discussion as well, in order to make sure we are providing that in the most appropriate and efficient method. A shared document sounds like a good start. Once we get some basic information as above we can start talking about technical implementation.
