Design CI workflows to prevent resource conflicts when multiple builds run concurrently on shared infrastructure. This includes using unique identifiers for temporary resources, minimizing container privileges, and separating CI-specific operations from local development workflows.
Design CI workflows to prevent resource conflicts when multiple builds run concurrently on shared infrastructure. This includes using unique identifiers for temporary resources, minimizing container privileges, and separating CI-specific operations from local development workflows.
Key practices:
Example of problematic code:
TMP_CONTAINER="tmpcontainer" # Fixed name causes conflicts
docker run --privileged ... # Unnecessary privileges
Better approach:
TMP_CONTAINER="tmpcontainer-$(date +%s)-$$" # Unique per run
docker run ... # Only add --privileged if actually needed
This prevents build failures when multiple PRs or builds execute simultaneously on shared CI infrastructure, and ensures local development workflows remain usable without requiring system-level permissions.
