Jenkins Level 1: Bad performance and long load times

I have just started the Jenkins Level 1 exercises and the first I noticed was the performance. In the first exercise it was still doable however when I started the second exercise it got progressively worse and worse. Loading pages would take 3 to 4 minutes and loading the plugins page would not even work or timeout. Can the team look into the performance of these containers cause it is like working on Windows XP computer!!!

Hi @Nencio

I am sorry to hear that you had to face some hard times working with our labs. To provide the labs, we rely on Cloud-based infrastructure and various other third-party services. With Jenkins, the lab env needs to be provisioned with all the prerequisites installed so that our users get the best experience. Sometimes due to various factors at play, might take some time to come up.

I believe what you are facing is a transient issue and I would suggest you to please go through this doc and please try this out sometime later.

Regards.

I hope you can look into the Jenkins Kodekloud Engineer exercises cause most of them take too much time to load. I have had to redo exercises cause I spent 30 minutes trying to install plugins, restarting and finding out plugins did not fully install all the plugins and do it all over again and then having to close the exercise cause I ran out of time trying to figure out what to do. For the premium we pay I think this underwhelming and unprofessional!
