build_node_min_count
Description
The build_node_min_count parameter specifies the minimum number of build nodes to keep running. If set to 0, a build node will scale up when a build starts and will remain active until it has been idle for 30 minutes before scaling down.
Default Value
The default value for build_node_min_count is 0.
Use Cases
- Consistent Build Availability: Ensures that there are always a minimum number of build nodes available to handle build tasks, reducing wait times and improving efficiency.
- Performance Optimization: Prevents delays in build processes, especially during peak development times, by maintaining a ready pool of build nodes.
Setting Parameters
To set the build_node_min_count parameter, use the following command:
$ convox rack params set build_node_min_count=2 -r rackName
Setting parameters... OK
This command sets the minimum number of build nodes to 2.
Additional Information
Adjusting the build_node_min_count allows you to manage the availability and readiness of your build infrastructure. Ensure that the value you set aligns with your team's build frequency and requirements. Keeping a higher minimum count can improve build times but will incur additional costs.
When build_node_min_count is set to 0, a build node is automatically created at the start of a build and will remain active until it has been idle for 30 minutes before shutting down to conserve resources.
