Initial: internal jenkins server at novatec
In the beginning at least some jobs will stay on NovaTec internal Jenkins server, currently this is:
- inspectIT integration job
- inspectIT release job
- weekly loadtest job
With Atlassian providing us with an Open Source no cost Cloudversion of a Bamboo master server, we use this technology for continuous integration tasks. The build nodes are Amazon EC2 instances, sponsored by NovaTec GmbH (see /wiki/spaces/IN/pages/1867778).
Current jobs on Bamboo

Meaningful usage of EC2 in Bamboo
- We automatically shutdown EC2 instances in Bamboo after the builds are run (you can also shut the instances down manually)
- We configure to use spot instances whenever possible for building things.
This said, if we see that we need more power or cannot wait for spot instances, it is absolutely fine to change the configuration.
