The script facilitates scaling of Jenkins agents by allowing both adding agents and removing agents. It integrates with GCP and the Jenkins API to add or remove agents dynamically based on the queue load, improving testbed efficiency.
The
add_agent
function scales up the Jenkins agents by checking if jobs with the specified label are present in the Jenkins queue. If jobs are found, it creates a new GCP VM, waits for the external IP to become available, and registers the new agent with Jenkins.The
remove_agent
function scales down the Jenkins agents by identifying idle agents. It removes the agent from Jenkins and deletes the associated VM, ensuring that only idle agents are removed, preventing any disruption to ongoing jobs.
