Details

Please add a property that indicates the AWS instance type the task is run on. Currently, there is no indication about what type of machine a test, or build, is being done on. There is a machine type, but it is just a name with no pointer to the important statistics about the machine. Knowing the general class of machine is important for explaining past and future changes in performance we may see. It would be best if you called the property "aws_instance_type" or something that reveals the nature of the value, but I would settle for some other generic name that is less AWS specific. What is most important is I have some way to lookup various statistics on the machine where the task was run, like http://www.ec2instances.info/?region=us-west-2
This can be derived from the workerType. We could ideally have some registry mapping workerTypes to documentation, I think that'll eventually happen. Then the UI could resolved this and link docs for a workerType.
