[GOAL] Produce a final recommendation on whether to retire the self-hosted Jenkins/CloudBees CI environment and standardize on a managed CI platform with self-hosted runners across all engineering teams, balancing software supply-chain controls, migration risk, developer productivity, and 12-month total cost of ownership.

[R0.1] DevOps Platform Lead (speak, public): To help us decide on whether to standardize our CI platform, I want to share some current metrics: We're averaging 510 pipeline runs per day with a 95th percentile queue time of 11.4 minutes. Additionally, our GitHub Actions pilot showed a decrease in median build duration from 14.0 to 11.2 minutes across 68 repositories. We have 132 repositories in scope for migration, with 17 relying on an on-prem Artifactory plugin. Lastly, our self-hosted runner fleet sizing estimates that we will need 26 runners, leading to a forecast of 2.1 million job-minutes per month. I'd like to understand the integrity and credential guardrails we need to consider, as well as any constraints on data in build outputs, and how subscription pricing compares to our current run-rate. Can we discuss that?
[R0.2] Application Security Lead (speak, public): To ensure we meet the necessary integrity and credential guardrails for this transition, we need to comply with the software supply-chain security requirements. Specifically, we must ensure that the 40 production services meet SLSA level 2 and that all releases are signed with two managed keys. Additionally, we need to address the handling of sensitive data in build outputs, particularly regarding the retention of logs that contain customer data, which is capped at 30 days. Can you provide more details on how you plan to manage these aspects during migration?
[R0.3] Finance & Vendor Manager (speak, public): Thanks for sharing those insights. Based on the metrics you've provided, we currently have a CI run-rate cost of $515,000 annually for CloudBees. The vendor quote for GitHub Enterprise is $46 per user per month for 1,200 seats, which includes 3 million Actions minutes per year. Given our average usage and the need to manage sensitive data, we should explore how this pricing aligns with our expected usage drivers and compliance requirements. I suggest we keep an open dialogue about the migration strategy to address both security and cost considerations effectively. Let's continue to refine these discussions to ensure a smooth transition.

[R1.1] DevOps Platform Lead (speak, public): I appreciate the insights from both of you regarding the integrity and credential guardrails and cost considerations. For the handling of sensitive data, my plan is to implement robust logging and retention policies in line with the 30-day cap for customer data. We will ensure that all logs are appropriately sanitized and that sensitive information is not exposed in build outputs. Regarding the subscription pricing, it sounds like we need to analyze our expected usage closely to determine the best approach moving forward. Let's keep collaborating on this to ensure we meet security requirements while also optimizing costs. Do you have any specific concerns or additional requirements we should address?
[R1.2] Application Security Lead (speak, private to=DevOps Platform Lead): I appreciate the detailed plans regarding logging and retention. It’s crucial that we ensure compliance while migrating. Additionally, I would like to confirm that the 26 runners you mentioned will be able to handle the expected job-minutes without compromising performance or security. Can you share any insights on how you plan to scale during peak times?
[R1.3] Finance & Vendor Manager (leave, public): 

[R2.1] DevOps Platform Lead (speak, private to=Application Security Lead): To ensure we maintain performance during peak times, our plan is to monitor runner usage closely and adjust the fleet size if necessary. We will have auto-scaling configurations in place to handle spikes in job-minutes effectively. Additionally, we will conduct load testing prior to the migration to identify any potential bottlenecks. Let's discuss any specific scenarios you think we should prepare for.
