Flextape
Flextape is our out-of-band license management server that gates individual actions run via bazel until the required license is available from the vendor-provided flexlm license server.
This is necessary since the vendor-provided solutions do not support queueing, causing actions to fail if there is too much concurrency with other actions that require the same license type.
The flextape server maintains a count of licenses out-of-band with the
vendor-provided license manager, and individual actions are wrapped with a
client that obtains a token from the flextape server before running their
command. The flextape protocol has keepalive mechanisms that will aggressively
expire the token if clients become unresponsive, unblocking subsequent actions.
