background solution - delayed_job or similar (but not condor please)
or extending dbomatic significantly. I suggested using some background
solution for launching instances many times but never got positive
response.
Taking advantage of the situation: is it a good idea to integrate
background solution for launching instances at this moment and as a
part of this scenario?
Hi Jan
I think you're right. We should be looking to get a delayed job
mechanism integrated as soon as we can. In addition to this case, there
are others which have come up recently, and which seem to require a
delayed job utility, including:
- Syncing changes from LDAP periodically, which Scott is currently planning.
- Adding support for a single "build and push" operation in the UI
