Jenkins is pretty good, by which I mean that it's ancient software and deals in XML and is hateful, but there's nothing better I've found. If your needs are:
* self-hosted
* cross-platform (Mac, Win, Linux)
* tasks run on an agent and get communicated back to the leader
* plugins for managing an AWS fleet or running tasks inside Docker
.. then I think there's nothing else that has the full featureset. GitLab CI seems close. I liked the look of drone.io a lot, but requiring Docker for tasks means that I can't test on Windows machines.
