I'm new to Jenkins and to Docker, so, naturally, I'm attempting use of both together :)
I've successfully duplicated the Docker-Jenkins CI steps shown at www.activestate.com/blog/2014/01/using-docker-run-ruby-rspec-ci-jenkins and I've looked with interest also at the approaches described in the two additional Docker-CI references, farther below. Writers on Docker-CI assert that the lightweight nature of Docker containers allow faster testing, because Docker test environments can very easily be created, modified and reused by the CI server. My question is whether Docker's lightweight nature also allows better exploitation of Jenkins' master-slave paradigm. Under this, I might expect that several Docker slaves on some slave Docker host could run in parallel. Thus, test suites would be broken down and run in parallel on a slave host and not sequentially. But are there already established techniques for the full exploitation of the compute power of slave hosts, whatever the role of Docker?
