Rootconf 2015

We would like to share the story on how we built our cloud based Continous Integaration solution and how it helped us to save resources while preserving the user experience. We have already presented this at Jenkins User Conference held at San franciso on 23rd October 2014.

Outline

At eBay we developed a federated model for CI where each developer gets their own Jenkins instance running on a dedicated VM. Only 20% were actually used and even those VMs were utilized less than 25 minutes per day. To solve this we built a highly-available, self-healing cloud infrastructure with Apache Mesos, Marathon and Jenkins. We got more value for each buck spent on resources.
