Hey, here are the minutes for the call of the new testing hardware.
present: cloph, moggi, Florian, Norbert, Matus, Alex, Caolan * virtual or real hardware? ** options: *** cloud **** spot pricing? ***** can be shut down randomly *** another server **** similar configuration to existing server ** cloud good for services that are not important (Cloph) *** no need to run everyday and don't care if they are shut down *** about c3.8xlarge on amazon (32cpu, 60GB): ~480 $/month (reserved/guranteed if running 24/7 - ~0.62$/hour) + 4289$/year - so more or less the same (Cloph) ** real hardware *** about 800€ for a 64 core, 256GB memory machine (Florian) *** could be conntected to the remaining infrastructure ** mixed environment ? *** real hardware for important parts *** leave room in budget for cloud infrastructure **** fuzzing might be a good candidate for cloud spot pricing *** consensus that this is best solution * how to handle requests for VM to implement new ideas? (Norbert) ** how to get access? ** we have gandalf (Markus) *** hopefully upgrade to SLE 12 soon, therefore being able to build libreoffice again ** additionally want to have at least one VM for doing crazy stuff there (Markus) ** talk to the ESC if you want to use them (Markus) ** board is the wrong target for these decisions (Markus, Norbert) * need test if hardware is fast enough? (Florian) ** 5x VM resources as upper bound to get below one day for crash testing (Markus) ** no need, hardware should be fast enough, surely faster than now * is there room with the selected hardware for cloud instance in the budget? (Norbert) ** hardware around 10k/year ** budget 15k ** there is still room for cloud infrastructure if necessary ** no need to run to the board for small changes * services running on them? ** crash testing ** performance testing ** fuzzing ** maybe some tinderboxes with special tests ** VM for crazy ideas AI: check for the price (Florian) * expected 2-4 weeks * ping Cloph, Alex, Norbet, Markus when hardware is available _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
