HI Sukhdev,

I also wonder how many folks are in that camp.
Regardless, if we can go from 85 --> 2 (or any other much smaller number), then 
that is a good thing.
Also, from an open source point of view, I’d like to see new 
contributors/vendors contributing effort on value-add innovation, and less on 
recreating/maintaining the ‘common’ portions of 3rd party ci.

Let's use a common CI Solution!

Hi Ramy,

While I agree, in principal, with this line of thinking and goal, my concern 
will be how much extra work is it going to create for existing CI owners?
Our Ci system has been stable for a long time, and we put in a good amount of 
effort to get it to that point. Our CI is not based upon zuul framework. Zuul 
was still under discussion at the time when we put together our CI. We use 
Jenkins as front end, along with Gerrit triggers, and AWS for 
posting/preserving results/log.  We have dedicated back-end servers for  
testing.

My paranoia at this point will be to learn a new framework, risk breaking 
things and taking a huge effort to get things stabilized - without much 
additional ROI.
Am I overreacting here or does my argument makes sense?

I wonder how many folks will be in that camp?

Sukhdev

All Third-Party CI operators:

We’ve got 85 Third Party CI systems registered in the wiki[1], all of them 
running a variety of closed & open-source solutions.
Instead of individually maintaining all those similar solutions, let’s join 
together and collectively maintain a single solution.

If that sounds good to you, there’s an Infra-spec that’s been approved [2] to 
refactor much of what the Infrastructure team uses for the upstream “Jenkins” 
CI to be more easily reusable by many of us.

We’ve got stories defined [3], and a few patches submitted. We’re using the 
gerrit-topic “downstream-puppet” [4].

For example, we’ve got the first part under review for the “Log Server”, which 
creates your own version of http://logs.openstack.org/

If anyone is interested in migrating towards a common solution, reply, or ping 
me IRC (asselin) on Freenode #openstack-infra, or join some of the third party 
ci meetings [5].

Thanks!
Ramy
