I guess my question is: what are the tradeoffs of getting a flex-only CI server on my Azure VM vs relying on Apache?
At Apache, we keep seeing other projects have build issues and require configuration changes that block us. And as Om just pointed out, once Infra has some other fire to fight, we can't get any support from them. I keep thinking it will be less total energy to use a Flex-only Azure VM. -Alex On 4/17/14 11:26 AM, "OmPrakash Muppirala" <bigosma...@gmail.com> wrote: >On Thu, Apr 17, 2014 at 11:23 AM, Nicholas Kwiatkowski ><nicho...@spoon.as>wrote: > >> I was talking to some of the people at a.o. infra on IRC and they >>mentioned >> that they have a new Windows VM that they launched for CI services... >>They >> are looking for people to help them test it out and get it setup.
