The total number of bare metals we have running is: 8 hypervisors 7 CI runners Load is usually pretty low (6-8 on load15) on hypervisors, regarding runners we're currently not gathering any utilization statistic but I expect the load to considerably higher on peek hours when multiple concurrent jobs are running. > • Whether those servers run on renewable energy or, if not, which > country and region they are each physically hosted in (so I can > calculate carbon intensity of energy supply for them). The datacenters in question are located in: Raleigh, North Carolina, Phoenix, Arizona and one of them lives in London. We're currently working to reduce the amount of hypervisors for better maintainability and cost reduction. > • For the AWS cloud services we use, which regions they are > provisioned in (since that impacts their carbon intensity, see [1]); > and the equivalent (if known) for any other cloud services we use.
