+ Jenkins avoids over-provisioning of cloud nodes by examining the + current load and deciding when more nodes are needed. Enable "No delay + provisioning" to create a new cloud node on Amazon EC2 as soon as the + NodeProvisioner detects a need for more agents. +

+

+ + This may cause Jenkins to create more cloud nodes than it needs to + serve the current jobs. + +

+

+ These nodes will be terminated if they remain idle longer than the + "idle termination time" setting. EC2 currently bills instances by the + second, so this option should not have a large impact on your AWS + bill. It will make cloud nodes available much more quickly for jobs + and should reduce delays. +
