To be honest I haven’t really thought about it and it’s definitely something it can’t do, you’d probably need to call their APIs or something.
I am fortunate in that the only things I want to reuse is package manager caches.
That’s fair, but surely you must see that’s a very simple build.
The complicated part comes when you have job A that builds and Job B that deploys - they run on two different machine specs so you’re not paying for a 16 core machine to wait for helm apply to wait for 5 minutes - they need somewhere secure to shuffle that artifact around. Their access to that service is likely different to your local access to that service, so you run your build locally and it’s fine but then the build machine doesn’t have write access to the new path you’ve just tested and it fails.
90% of the time these are where I see CI failures
