job DSL plugin

[rakhee Kulkarni]

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to launch several jobs on different platforms(OS) for the same commit hash in git. Has anyone used the job DSL plugin? Any advise is appreciated. I don't know if it matters but my Jenkins master and slaves are hosted in Amazon EC2.

Thanks,

Rakhee

Do you need to run the same job on multiple OSes ?  In that case you'd be better off using a matrix job so that you only have to maintain one job configuration.

If you need multiple jobs that have small configuration differences, the job DSL plugin is ideal as you can write a template for the common part of the job config and then just add in the specifics for each job.

Gareth,

Thanks for the response. I do have differences in configurations. The host is different and the method call from python is different too. I will dig into job DSL.
