Is possible for Jenkins to auto start and stop slave nodes

0 votes

I am using a Jenkins master with a slave node in my network.I want to create another node in AWS EC2,a big expensive server. I would like to have a single Jenkins build that will make following changes:

  • Jenkins Master should be able to start slave node.
  • Jenkins node should be able to run the script.
  • Jenkins Master should be able to stop the slave node.

I know I can have three separate builds to do it. I was wondering if it is possible to have this in one build only? Is there any plugin through which I can achieve all the above?

I have never checked that with Jenkins but if you want you can use Amazon EC2. It can all the above job in one build. I hope this will work for you.

Try Jenkins Plugin called as Slave SetupPlugin.

This plugin prepares slaves for build execution by letting you copy files and execute scripts before the slave gets used.

It also allows you to start and stop slaves on demand from the master node.
