Jenkins infra on Azure
Migration Plan
This migration plan is for the partnership with Microsoft to run Jenkins project infrastructure on Azure.
Project Milestones
Proof-of-concept with Azure provisioned infrastructure
Spin up resources connected to the existing Jenkins puppet master (puppet.jenkins.io) in Azure.
-
Basic proof of concept of Puppet/ARM integration, make sure we can manage these Azure resources effectively.
-
Some candidates for the purpose of these resources (all non-critical in project infra): Windows build machines for ci.j.o, javadocs site, opengrok installation
Scoped Work
The main areas of work for this milestone would be:
-
Deciding on a strategy for provisioning resources (virtual machines, load balancers, etc) in Azure. This could entail using Terraform, Azure Resource Manager, the puppetlabs/azure module or some combination thereof.
-
Define the Azure Virtual Network (VPC equivalent) for production machines in Azure to be deployed into
-
Define pattern for a "base" virtual machine, based off of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Datadog, Docker, and other basic tools installed. This could take the form of a custom image, or something more stock, depending on what works out best on Azure
-
Provision staging resources for the service, whether attached to puppet.jenkins.io or not is yet to be determined.
Estimated time to complete: 2 man-weeks
Provision jenkins.io static site
-
High visibility but low overhead since it’s just a static site
-
Just jenkins.io, none of the supporting applications in the namespace
Provision alternate Jenkins distribution architecture with Azure CDN
-
Yum repository driven through Azure
-
Apt repository driven through Azure
-
Basic .war and update center (how plugins are delivered)
-
This would be alternate so not quite handling production traffic yet, but would allow for beta testing of the release pipeline on the project side and identifying potential issues with end-to-end SSL distribution
Migrate primary Jenkins distribution to Azure
Provision new ci.jenkins.io on Azure
-
Dynamically provisioning Jenkins build nodes via the Azure plugin
-
Jenkins master running on Azure
Migrate JIRA/Confluence to Azure
-
Big for project contributors, and a huge pain in the ass but otherwise not very note-worthy
