[cbi-dev] Jenkins - Kubernetes - gradle cache on persistent volume

[Olivier Delcroix <odelcroi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

My gradle build jobs are finally working well on my custom container. 

The problem I'm facing now is that each time, gradle will re-download every dependencies, which takes 5-6minutes of the overall build. Usually we use gradle cache to avoid this pitfall. 

I'm not an expert of k8, but it seems that it is possible to mount a volume that could be persisted after each execution (https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/storage/persistent-volumes/) I would like to locate my gradle cache on that type of volume.

My question is : what kind of persistent volume can we use out of the box from the openshift architecture? should we use an external service if none is provided?

Thanks a lot,

Olivier
