[Jenkins-infra] plugins.jenkins.io Static site deployment

[Gavin Mogan]

Hey ya'll,

As some of you might know, i've been poking at making a static version of
plugins.jenkins.io like jenkins.io, that just gets rebuilt periodically (PR
@ https://github.com/jenkins-infra/plugin-site/pull/76), Its pretty much
done, just needs jenkinsfile/deployment tweaking.

I started to create a PR to update the helm chart to split the backend
image (/api) and the frontend image (/) into two different docker images.
This was supposed to be short term until a new CDN style deployment. About
5 minutes into this PR, I realized it'll be a pain if the content is
generated through cron.

So, options

all) add plugins-api.jenkins.io to the current helm chart

1) Update the helm chart, manually or automatically, every build of the
site content
2) Upload the content to azure blob storage like jenkins.io (See
https://github.com/jenkins-infra/jenkins.io/blob/a7cf4218dba77ab07e4e4ef691d5142e986a4949/Jenkinsfile#L94-L101
)
3) If desired to reduce Azure dependencies, netlify is what I use for the
demo site, its pretty easy, and they have a free tier for open source
projects - pro with unlimited users -
https://www.netlify.com/legal/open-source-policy/

I think 1 is really gross and don't want to do it.

But looking for more ideas/feedback.

Gavin
