[JIRA] [core] (JENKINS-35174) Modify cloud API when several shared clouds are defined with the same label
Title: Message Title Elliot Weiser commented on JENKINS-35174 Re: Modify cloud API when several shared clouds are defined with the same label Thanks for opening this Félix Belzunce Arcos. Distributing load across clouds would be very desirable. To your point about "expensive" versus "cheap" clouds, there are a number of load balancing algorithms that are potentially worth pursuing (all of which have their merits): Round Robin Weighted Balance Least Used Least (Current) Load I'll try to poke at the source code in my spare time to see what's feasible. I have a picture in my head of how it could work.

Title: Message Title Félix Belzunce Arcos created an issue Jenkins / JENKINS-35174 Modify cloud API when several shared clouds are defined with the same label Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Components: core Created: 2016/May/27 9:30 AM Priority: Minor Reporter: Félix Belzunce Arcos If you define several clouds with the same labels you expect not only one cloud to be used but to share the load between all of them. However, Jenkins always tries to provision a node on the first cloud with matching labels. It will go to other clouds only if provisioning fails - It's a common Jenkins behaviour. Several clouds with similar labels will make only the first cloud to be used in a non failure scenario. Ideally, you should share the load and even be able to have more "expensive" clouds later in the list and the "cheaper" clouds will be used first until they reach capacity Add Comment
