Hi,

In the Solum project we are looking at various options for running
a pool of worker nodes that will build images (deployment units (DUs) in Solum terms) from user code.

For code managing aspects, we are in the process of extending Zuul with a 'messaging' trigger.
Once this trigger is received, we will kick off gearman workers to build the DUs -- at least
that is the high-level idea.

In this regards, I have following questions:

I was told that nodepool is the system that manages such worker nodes for Zuul. I briefly looked at
the nodepool repository (https://github.com/openstack-infra/nodepool) but did not find
any information about its integration points with Zuul and/or gearman. Where should I look to find this
information? Is it possible to use a different node management system instead of nodepool with Zuul?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,
