Building the infrastructure to support a fully customizable, stable
and up to date source based Linux distribution builder.
Presentation Description:
The Wind River Linux team has created a sophisticated infrastructure
that builds over 2000 Linux distros from source every day. Wind River
Linux is based on the Yocto Project, a source based Linux distribution
builder. To support our customers desire for a Linux distro customized
to their needs, we have setup a large cluster to build and test a
subset of the nearly infinite configurations. Our infrastructure uses
well established Open Source projects like Xen, Nagios and Collectd;
newer tools like Puppet, MCollective, Foreman and Graphite and we are
experimenting with Docker and Mesos. The full lifecycle of systems in
the build cluster is automated and monitored to maximize utilization
and minimize system administration overhead.
