If you are phasing out old hardware where users could remotely run VMs for testing purposes, there is ALWAYS that one user that
a) has been using their VM in prod for years
b) doesn't reply to any message about decommissioning sent to all users
c) doesn't install updates, patches, hotfixes or anything "because I have it just the way I like it"
d) will raise all hell when you shut down the machine
e) insists that you hot-migrate their VM to the new i…

Anybody know if Jenkins CI allows you to mark a specific job as dependent on a shared resource that conflicts with specific other jobs?
Like jobs A, B, and C can all run whenever, but D and E use the same external foobar (software license, piece of hardware, whatever) and can't execute concurrently

Abstract: The n2EDM experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute aims to conduct a high-sensitivity search for the electric dipole moment of the neutron. Magnetic stability and control are achieved through a combination of passive shielding, provided by a magnetically shielded room (MSR), and a surrounding active field compensation system by an Active Magnetic Shield (AMS). The AMS is a feedback-controlled system of eight coils spanned on an irregular grid, designed to provide magnetic stability to the enclosed volume by actively suppressing external magnetic disturbances. It can compensate static and variable magnetic fields up to $\pm 50$ $\mu$T (homogeneous components) and $\pm 5$ $\mu$T/m (first-order gradients), suppressing them to a few $\mu$T in the sub-Hertz frequency range. We present a full finite element simulation of magnetic fields generated by the AMS in the presence of the MSR. This simulation is of sufficient accuracy to approach our measurements. We demonstrate how the simulation can be used with an example, obtaining an optimal number and placement of feedback sensors using genetic algorithms.
