Agents across multiple region support

Pipelines

Hi Team,

I have an use case where I want to run different steps using agens from different regions (e.g. AU and US)? Is that possible at the moment?

For more context, I’m using the Elastic CI Stack for AWS.

Thanks,
Nam

Hey there @nam!

Welcome to the community!

That would be possible, actually. You could use something like the following:

steps:
  - label: "Hello, world!"
    command: echo "Hello, world!"
    agents:
      aws:region: us-east-1
...

And then something like this to target an agent in Sydney:

...
  - label: "Goodbye, world!"
    command: echo "Hello, world!"
    agents:
      aws:region: ap-southeast-2

You’d obviously require stacks/agents in each of those regions first!

Hope that helps!

Hi @benmc

Thanks for a quick response.

Just to clarify, does the agents from these two regions have to have the same queue name, or it can be different, something like


steps:
  - label: "Hello, world!"
    command: echo "Hello, world!"
    agents:
      aws:region: us-east-1
      queue: deploy


...
  - label: "Goodbye, world!"
    command: echo "Hello, world!"
    agents:
      aws:region: ap-southeast-2
      queue: deploy-au

Thanks again

@nam :wave:

They can be different names if you like, the queue is just another filter, but it’s an && operator rather than an ||, so in your example it would need to be in us-east-1 and the deploy queue, it couldn’t be us-east-1 and deploy-au, for example.
