build_node_type

Description

The build_node_type parameter specifies the instance type for the build node. By default, it uses the same value as the node_type parameter unless explicitly set otherwise.

Default Value

The default value for build_node_type is the same as the node_type parameter.

Use Cases

• Custom Build Configuration: Allows you to specify a different instance type for build nodes, optimizing them for build tasks which might have different requirements compared to runtime nodes.
• Performance Optimization: You can choose an instance type with higher compute or memory resources to speed up build processes.

Setting Parameters

To set the build_node_type parameter, use the following command:

$ convox rack params set build_node_type=c5.large -r rackName
Setting parameters... OK

This command sets the build node type to c5.large.

Additional Information

Selecting the appropriate build_node_type can significantly impact the performance and cost of your build processes. Consider the resource requirements of your builds when choosing an instance type. If not set, the build node will default to the type specified by the node_type parameter, ensuring consistency across your infrastructure.
