Problem

If you are using actual hardware as target machines for your CI testing then the problem of two jobs trying to use the name target arises. If you have one target machine and a maximum number of one jobs running on your ironic pipeline at a time, then you won't run into this problem. However, one target may not handle the load of ironic's daily patch submissions.

Solutions

Zuul v3

Molten Iron

molteniron is a tool that allows you to reserve hardware from a pool at the last minute to use in your job. Once finished testing, you can unreserve the hardware making it available for the next test job.
