The place I work with made the silly choice of using SCVMM for our private VMM provisioning service (which is weird because we're nearly a 100% linux shop). It doesn't seem like there's a lot of an open-source glue ecosystem built around it.
Either way, what could be done is have the script that runs the slaves execute the rollback command (there's a SOAP API for it), but to get that scripted together, I think I need to somehow tell the slave to execute only one job then terminate, so I could have something like this: #!/bin/bash make-checkpoint.sh execute-jenkins-slave.sh # executes one job then terminates rollback-to-checkpoint.sh Is that somehow possible?
