Balancing Distributed Nodes

[Fabricio Leotti]

Hello!

Normally I use the USAGE strategy of my nodes as "utilize this node as
much as possible" and group labels (in this case 2 nodes).

I am getting too much difference between the loads of the 2 nodes. I
was thinking if the balancing strategy would change if I keep the
labels and change the strategy to "Only build jobs with label
restriction matching this node". Should I expect to observe a
different behaviour?

Thanks in advance,

Fabricio Leotti

Maybe this helps?

This works pretty well:

Yes. Probably this helps. I was also trying to remember what was the default behaviour of Jenkins when distributing builds. Thought that I could fix something without using plugins. Thanks !

From what I read in the docs, it's more appropriate for cases where you work with multiple master, right?

Thanks for your answer!

Didn't double check, but IIRC the default behaviour for Jenkins us to try to make the build run of the previous as much as possible. This can drastically improve performance for some contexts (say big repo to clone, things to cache and so on).

You recall correctly, Baptiste. That's the exact default behaviour.

Thanks a lot!
