Issues moving to Jenkins in the cloud
“How do I access resources in my data center?”

Multi-master benefits
Central Dashboard
Sharing resources
Scale out Jenkins
– add more masters instead of adding executors
to a single master
Multi-master server failure will keep builds
running on the multi-master client master
