Description

jenkins/pipelines/llnode-pipeline.jenkinsfile
string(name: 'MACHINES', defaultValue: 'all', description: '''Can be "all" or a space-separated list of nodes, eg:
debian8-64 fedora22 fedora23 osx1010 ubuntu1604-64 rhel7-s390x aix61-ppc64 smartos16-64 smartos15-64 win10 win2012r2'''),
]),

Can see several out of date os's listed here.

Would be good to deprecate rhel7 nodes
win2012r2 servers

Research direction

Start with jenkins/pipelines/llnode-pipeline.jenkinsfile and the referenced ansible/inventory.yml around line 75 to inventory the listed operating-system nodes. Review the RHEL 7, Windows Server 2012 R2, Ubuntu 16.04, and other outdated entries; done means deprecated infrastructure is removed or updated while testing coverage and Jenkins-node security are preserved.
