Hi, Glad to hear someone working on improving RDO CI =) About pipeline plugin - it is known to be very useful when you have distinguished steps that depends on each other (e.g Test -> Deploy) but installing RDO on single or multiple nodes are quite similar. I also believe you will find there is a minor difference in time run between those two types of jobs so it can save a lot of time running those in parallel (especially when resources are limited). perhaps ""Install RDO on a single node & Install RDO on multiple nodes (+testing)" -> "Promote the tested set of packages in the 'passed-ci' repository" ?
