For the past couple of weeks I've been working with the nice
folks @osuosl.org on having VMs for Bigtop project. The
idea was to run our Jenkins out of their DC. Unfortunately,
though, there seems to be a policy on their end that
prevents an unrestricted web access. Even though we
do have a proxy established: http://bigtop.sc.osuosl.org/
it must be password protected.
Now, I really think that one of the fundamental values in
Bigtop is to bring transparency to Hadoop and Hadoop's
ecosystem releases. And having a password protected
Jenkins defeats that purpose.
I think the options we've got come down:
* having VMs @osuosl.org and a public Jenkis master on EC2.
Slaves will connect via JNLP since port-forwarding is too tricky
and probably won't fly with Supercell guys.
* use a Build Publisher Plugin
Which way should we go?
Thanks,
Roman.
