Allow Jenkins to start agents/nodes with Spot framework, and terminate them as they get unused.
This plugin uses Spot Elastigroup to launch instances instead of directly launching them by itself.
The Elastigroup will make sure the agents' target-capacity is being maintained.
More details can be found in our documentation.
You’ll need a Spot account to use this plugin, you can get one at Spot Signup.
Once you have an account, login into your Spot Console to generate API token (Settings → Personal Access Tokens → Generate)
Now, Create an Elastigroup with your proper Region, AMI, Instance Types etc.
After you installed the plugin, navigate to the main "Manage Jenkins" > "Configure System" page, and scroll down to the “Spot” Section, and add the API Token you’ve generated in the previous step. Then click on "Validate Token", make sure that the token is valid.
Once you’ve set the Spot Token, scroll down near the bottom to the “Cloud” section.
There, Click on the "Add a new cloud" button, and select the "Spot" option.
Now – you should Specify your "Elastigroup ID" and "Idle minutes before termination"
-
Pending Timeout Behavior Change: The pending timeout field is no longer limited to a maximum of 15 minutes. Generally, the pending timeout defines the maximum time to wait for launching a new machine. The default timeout (if this field is not set) is 10 minutes. In the previous version, it was also limited to a maximum of 15 minutes. We have removed that limitation, and from this version, the pending timeout will be respected with any defined value to support cases with long startup scripts.

Added support to change the value for Agent’s instance’s pending timeout before termination - for cases of a longer startup script. in the previous versions the value is 10 minutes for AWS and GCP clouds and 15 for Azure clouds. since this version that value becomes the default value, if not changed by the user.
