SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires pyyaml, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the coordination of builds across multiple remote servers, reducing manual orchestration and human error in complex pipelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Distributed orchestration: coordinate Yocto builds, host modules, and integration tests across several machines.
  • Dependency-aware scheduling: start tasks only after their dependencies finish successfully and propagate failures quickly.
  • Status collection & alerts: gather logs, report progress, and notify on failures to keep pipelines moving.

Quick Start

Run the orchestrator with a pipeline YAML file, for example: ./orchestrator.py pipelines/ccu2-full.yaml

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate builds across multiple remote servers?

You can automate builds across multiple remote servers using Python and YAML pipeline definitions to coordinate tasks, manage dependencies, and report status. This skill requires SSH access and PyYAML to execute distributed orchestration.

What is dependency-aware scheduling for distributed build pipelines?

Dependency-aware scheduling ensures tasks start only after their dependencies finish successfully. This approach automates coordination across machines like Yocto build farms, propagating failures quickly to prevent wasted compute time and alerting users.

Can I use YAML to coordinate Yocto build farm integration tests?

Yes, you can coordinate Yocto build farm integration tests by defining your multi-host pipelines in a YAML file. Running the orchestrator script with this file automates task execution, status collection, and failure notification across servers.

Do I need SSH access to orchestrate remote builds?

Yes, SSH access is required to orchestrate remote builds across distributed servers. The skill uses SSH connections managed by Python and PyYAML to execute tasks, gather logs, and report progress for complex pipelines.

How does log-based status reporting handle pipeline failures?

Log-based status reporting gathers execution logs across remote servers to track pipeline progress and notify on failures. This mechanism ensures rapid failure propagation, keeping distributed environments moving by automating status collection.

What is the best way to manage multi-server build orchestration?

The best way to manage multi-server build orchestration is using a dependency-aware scheduler with YAML configurations and SSH access. This approach automates task coordination, reduces manual error, and provides rapid failure notification.
