Any way to specify a preferred agent for a job to run on?
Matthew...@diamond.ac.uk
We use freestyle jobs which allow concurrent builds. Sometime we have 10+ builds running at the same time, distributed across a number of agents. We use the https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Throttle+Concurrent+Builds+Plugin as well.
Some of our agents are slower than others. Unfortunately, when Jenkins starts a new build, by default the agent selected is the last one used (provided it has a free executor). That means that once we use a slow agent, we tend to stay on it.
Is there any way to better control the selection of which agent to run on? Do pipelines offer anything extra in this area?
Thanks
Matthew
