[Nfd-dev] Jenkins slave resiliency

[Md Ashiqur Rahman]

Hello Junxiao,

All the slave nodes have redundancy on at-least two different sites except
for CentOS-7 and osx-10.13. I am currently working to see if osx-10.13 can
be replicated or not on another site other than UCLA. but as you can see,
setting up mac VM on ubuntu VM is not straightforward and the best is to
deploy on a mac machine directly which I have done previously for
osx-10.14. For CentOS, I have asked the Memphis site maintainer to deploy a
VM a long time ago, with a reminder a few days later but got no response.

Now, making the Jenkins master redundant on another site is NOT a
straightforward task. Settings are far more complicated than setting up
slave nodes. You are more than welcome to provide your input on how to
manage this. But please, suggest a way that's actually doable and feasible
and not only some fancy thing that's almost impossible and takes years to
do.

Best-
Ashiq
