Hey folks, I have a team that uses our OpenStack VM and BM clusters in their CI
and CD environments (And yes, they really do need baremetal for some of their
CI tests, unless I want to support gigantifriggenormous VM flavors).
CI on baremetal works ok, however the time it takes to image the host prior to
running the tests slows down their whole CI pipeline. What they want to do is
boot instances in advance then as needed select an unused instance and execute
their CI job on it. Upon completion of their CI job they'd like to reimage the
host and return it to an "unused" state.
I came up with something using instance names as an atomic-ish means of
managing state. But it's pretty hacky. Before I go off and have to build a new
webservice myself, has anyone heard of a tool that does something like this
already?
thanks!-James :)=
