<Fill report here>

Martin to report on what he's been working on.

Migration off old hard-ware AND Virtualization, Containerization, or None

  • Discussion pending on list (moderator: could not find the mail thread)
  • Needs:
    • trac is painfully slow (now seems better with Chris Gorgi's recent changes to apache config)
    • osgeo6 is running an ancient Debian, needs to be updated

Leaning to libvrt since it can be done with one server (less resource intensive than ganeti), with possibility of moving to ganeti next year when we get more hardware.

DONE: Alex sent quote to mailing list, Updated Feb 15 ~$6300-7000. Chris Gorgi has some ideas, may provide enhancements

  • DONE: provide clarification of new hardware purchase options suitability for hosting type. (wildintellect)
    • LXD was a suggestion as an alternative to full Virtualization with KVM, more similar to virtual machine than say Docker.
    • We can mix containers and virtualization
    • Easy candidates for containers include Downloads and Webextra (FOSS4G) which are static files.
  • Suggestions:
    • Optane card for extra disk caching beyond memory - Question how do we configure this?
    • Fill RAM, mostly caches requests, in particular file downloads
    • Larger DWPD rating for SSDs to better handle writes - Question, we didn't do this for OSGeo6, anything we should look out for? Should we estimate life of OSGeo6 drives and replace pre-failure next couple of years.
    • 4 TB Spinning disks, still plenty of space (7+ usable), takes less time to rebuild on failure, cost diverted to other features.


Any other feedback from others to be discussed
