General edit

Evaluation status/news edit

  • Lars: GoCD
    • no progress, busy
  • Brennen: Zuul v3
    • Report in Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T218138
    • Lars is against Ansible and thus Zv3
    • Zuul handles gating and Gerrit integration well, and this is likely to be used in the future, too
    • There is a sense that we do not particularly like Zuul, but cannot at this time exclude it for various reasons.
  • Dan: Jenkins X
    • Evaluated, cobbled together kitchen sink vibes. Would like to exclude.
    • Seems huge for what it is.
    • Concurring opinions from Brennen and Lars.
    • Excluded
  • Dan: Tekton
    • Did have a little bit of time to check out Tekton, would like to spend a bit more.
  • Zeljko: Spinnaker
    • no progress
