resources question

[Roy Nielsen]

Hello,

I'm new to good - maybe this question is clearly answered elsewhere, but a quick search didn't find the answer.

If I were to say a job needs 16 Gb of memory, or 24, or 64 memory available, I could create a tag/resource, right?  What about hard drive, # of CPUs, CPU properties, network capability, operating system, os version, etc, etc.

That starts to be a lot of tags/resources.

Would it be possible to have some json or yaml describe the requirements for a specific job,  Maybe it already is available?  

Is it or could it be possible to have gocd understand an extended set of environmental (HW/OS/compiler availability/etc) conditions when choosing an agent to run jobs on?  Using resources/tags could get complicated fast.

Thank you,

-Roy Nielsen

Hello,

I guess what I'm thinking is - would it be possible for an agent to self-identify a bunch of these resources to the server when connecting, or when the server polls for resources?

If you are familiar with puppet - kind of like puppet facts.

You're probably looking for agent autoregistration.

Hello Ketan,

It's close - I was thinking along the lines of an agent keeping an up - to - date table of information specified by a basic  usage (IO/mem/cpu/HD space/SMART status/+) as well as other server defined values (OS/OS version/CPU properties/active mount points/installed compilers/+) that might be better identified dynamically rather than statically.  The code for identifying the data possibly handed to the client, the client updating it's table, and handing back the information for use by server code to see if the client is appropriate for a pipeline/stage/job.  That might be totally out of scope.  

On the other hand, could a plugin do this?

Thank you,

You probably want to look at elastic agent plugins that can determine agent assignment based on arbitrary rules.
