Best practices to run Jenkins in AWS

Using Jenkins Ask a question
1

Is there any documentation on the best way to run Jenkins at scale in AWS?

Specifically, I’m looking for guidance on auto-scaling EC2 instances/fargate containers/etc to run jobs.

What are best practices on how to deal with AWS credentials?

thanks,
phil

The EC2 plugin can bring up additional nodes (build agents) on the fly by responding to the build queue https://plugins.jenkins.io/ec2/
