We can certainly add swap but imo swap is just a slower ram. At least in my
experience when a system starts needing to swap things have already gone
beyond recovery and swap just delays the inevitable program crash. In any
case there's a few ways we can add swap if we really want to:
1) At the job

I do not remember all the issues related with memory but at least swap is
required in the robot VM to generate the log.html when output.xml file is big.

Well, I think Thanh's point is that if the output.xml is too big, we just add
more RAM to
fix it, although instead we could add some swap which is "slower RAM"

OK, if we have RAM lets add it, I thought we had some constraint there.

actually, I get your point, Luis. There is always a little give and take when we
want to ask for more RAM. I take it that swap space is not going to be a big
deal
since storage is not something we are every worried about.
right Thanh?
btw, we did bump the robot builder vms from 2G to 4G RAM rec
Yes, that's right the systems have 4GB of RAM now. If the only things we
need swap for is the robot systems then I'm more inclined to suggest we
create it as part of the job definition first, and move it to packer if we
find it adds to much build time (I'm not sure if creating a swap file is a
sign
