Hi @Nicolas Esteves ,

I am excited to announce EAP for Runners auto-scaling tooling. If you are interested in giving it a try, please join this community group. 

Thanks,

Hi @Justin Thomas

Great news! :)

But it looks like I can't join the group: "Nothing to see here... You don't have sufficient privileges to view this page."

Can you please help? Thank you.

Kind regards,

@Nicolas Esteves Apologies for the wrong link, please try this one. I have updated the initial comment with the link.

Thank you @Justin Thomas I've asked to join the group.

But now I can clearly see its name, I'm wondering; is the autoscaler feature only compatible with Kubernetes??? I mean, that doesn't look like the feature described in the ticket you previously shared: BCLOUD-21343

Can you please clarify?

Thank you, and have a nice day.

Kind regards,

[Nicolas Esteves]

Hi @Justin Thomas

Can you please take a look at my previous concern?

Thank you.

Kind regards,

[Justin Thomas]

@Nicolas Esteves Yes, the current tooling only supports Kubernetes. 

Can you please explain your use case and your plans related to runners?

[Nicolas Esteves]

Hi @Justin Thomas

We don't use Kubernetes. So, if we want to use the autoscaler feature, that means we have to:

- develop new skills in the team.

- create a cluster (always up and running = $$$).

Do you confirm?

I was hoping to get a feature as the one that exists for Bamboo On Premise: create remote instances (AWS EC2) on demand. Why choosing a totally different approach? I only see disadvantages; more expensive, more complicated, ... :(

Thank you.

Kind regards,

[Justin Thomas]

Kubernetes is the first platform that we decided to support in the autoscaling tool because Linux runners are containerized, K8s is quite popular, and easy to deploy containers on it.

If we see more requests for the AWS EC2 platform we will add support for it.  I am not sure about the effort required to add EC2 support. Maybe @Oleksandr Kyrdan can help us here?

Hi @Justin Thomas

That would be really useful.. As it's a feature already available On Premise, having it in the Cloud would be a smart move to encourage customers to migrate, IMHO.

Thanks.

Hi @Justin Thomas

Any news about the auto scaling feature for the EC2 platform? Maybe @Oleksandr Kyrdan

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Hi @Justin Thomas ,

Is it possible to set the annotations for k8s in DIND accordingly for authentication purpose for dependent services ?

Thanks

Hey guys,

Did you release the kubernetes autoscaling capability at the end? Just requested to join the group @Justin Thomas mentioned. 

Interested in giving it a whirl in our on-prem cluster.
