Hosting 200+ Jenkins Servers and Not Breaking a Sweat
Frederic Gurr

In quest of the best solution we have switched to a custom-tailored full OSS approach based on Jenkins OSS, Docker, Openshift, the Jenkins Configuration as Code Plugin and a few scripts.

Ultimately, whether or not an open source project is successful depends on your definition of success. Regardless of your definition, creating an open source project can be a lot of work. If you have goals regarding adoption, for example, then you need to be prepared to invest. While open source software is “free as in beer,” it’s not really free: time and energy are valuable resources and these valuable resources need to be invested in the project.Eclipse Infrastructure: Say Goodbye to Bugzilla!
