Description
We currently have 4 machines 2 for windows and 2 for mac. for the build and test purposes.
We would like to explore options to combine these machines and release 2 resource packs/dedicated agents.
The build machines are used on demand. approximate usage is about 10 mins per week. GUI is not used at all. only shell access is required.
The test machines are used for each build with approx 9 hours per build. During milestone weeks these machines are used for more than 18 hours per day. GUI is required.
With test running separately and with single executor, most often we will not get an executor for build purposes.
In the past Michael Barbero mentioned we can have only 1 executor with GUI per machine for Windows and Mac. Its not possible to have multiple executors with GUI.
Now the idea is can we have 1 executor with GUI and another executor with shell access only. May require connecting to the same machine with two different connections?
Is the above solution possible to free up resource packs?
