I don't think Pulkit needs a high availablility solution to solve his use case especially if he anticipates that it doesn't happen that often. One thing that can be done is to save and version the Jenkins configuration and jobs in SCM then load them to the secondary Jenkins only when needed then it's just a matter of switching the DNS to point to the new Jenkins?
