I like GHA, but some of our tests (TO API and TP UI tests specifically) are
difficult from an OSS CI perspective because of the use of a CIAB sidecar. I
realize ocket8888 is making headway on it that's very promising in GHA, but at
this point we've got an equal to greater belief that ASF infra will be able to
handle this situation. We've tinkered with replacing our jobs before but due
to our usage of the Github PR Builder Jenkins plugin, it's been stalled out. I
have a Jenkinsfile made that should be directly portable into the new ASF
Jenkins instance done, but our cultural usage of that plugin has been a
blocker. Now it sounds like our hand is being forced, so I'm +1 on migrating
within ASF infrastructure until such time as GHA can cover all our testing use
cases.

I think it's time to move away from apache jenkins and embrace github
actions (GHA). In addition to providing better visibility on a PR (i.e.
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/pull/4933/checks__;!!CQl3mcHX2A!UsjHewB4L2xwQJfJ9O7F9acjWSZ6uXV03HbFEz6JvvgUMgZ_ywazU6i1zJLYWd6Qdtl2$
), GHAs can be
created/modified by non-committers whereas apache jenkins cannot.
When this open PR is merged from Brennan:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/pull/4948__;!!CQl3mcHX2A!UsjHewB4L2xwQJfJ9O7F9acjWSZ6uXV03HbFEz6JvvgUMgZ_ywazU6i1zJLYWciZPUAx$
we will have GHAs that:
- run the weasel license checker
- check that each TC component builds successfully
- runs the unit tests agains each component
I "think" this encompasses everything done previously by apache jenkins.
+1 for GHA, -1 for migrating to
