This issue is for keeping notes on how to add a donated buildbot to our apache build.

My employer donated budget (I badly under-estimated cost but whatever...). This issue is about adding 5 GCP nodes.

There is this page up on apache on donating machines for build https://infra.apache.org/hosting-external-agent.html It got me some of the ways... at least as far as the bit about mailing root@a.o....(nada).

At [~zhangduo]'s encouragement -- he has been this route already adding in the xiaomi donation -- I filed a JIRA after deploying a machine on GCP, INFRA-21973.

I then reached out on slack and the gentleman Gavin MacDonald picked up the task.

He told me run this script on all hosts after making edits (comment out line #39 where we set hostname -- doesn't work):

https://github.com/apache/cassandra-builds/blob/trunk/jenkins-dsl/agent-install.sh

(For more context on the above script and as a good backgrounder, see the nice C* page on how to do this setup: https://github.com/apache/cassandra-builds/blob/trunk/ASF-jenkins-agents.md)

After doing the above, I had to do a visudo on each host to add a line for an infra account to allow passwordless access.
