When running nodepool launchers in kubernetes a common method to update nodepool or its config is doing rolling restarts. The process for this is start a new nodepool, wait for it to be ready and then tear down the old instance. Currently this is not possible without risking node_failures when there is only one instance serving a label. The reason for this is that there is no reliable way to determine when the new instance is fully started which could lead to a too early tear down of the old instance. This would result in node_failures for all in-flight nore requests that are only valid for this provider. Adding a /ready endpoint to the webapp can make this deterministic using readiness checks of kubernetes. Change-Id: I53e77f3d8aaa4742ce2a89c1179e8563f850270e
Nodepool
Nodepool is a system for managing test node resources. It supports launching single-use test nodes from cloud providers as well as managing access to pre-defined pre-existing nodes. Nodepool is part of a suite of tools that form a comprehensive test system, including Zuul.
The latest documentation for Nodepool is published at: https://zuul-ci.org/docs/nodepool/
The latest documentation for Zuul is published at: https://zuul-ci.org/docs/zuul/
Getting Help
There are two Zuul-related mailing lists:
- zuul-announce
-
A low-traffic announcement-only list to which every Zuul operator or power-user should subscribe.
- zuul-discuss
-
General discussion about Zuul, including questions about how to use it, and future development.
You will also find Zuul developers in the #zuul channel on Freenode IRC.
