That's actually a pretty damn brilliant use of a CI system. Can it be distributed, though? All timed jobs running from one box screams "single point of failure"

- aidenn0 11y agoIt's as distributed or not as cron.
- Karunamon 11y agoI meant, if 5 boxes run cron and one box blows up, only the jobs on that box are affected. If one box is running all jobs and it blows up, all jobs are affected.

- paulfurtado 11y agoThat's not really true. With Jenkins, the Jenkins master controls 100% of the execution of jobs on the slaves and Jenkins cannot be multi-master. With cron, each host is responsible for executing its own cron jobs, removing the single point of failure.
