All the code necessary to run SMC is in github. Said that, from my experience, it is extremely complex given you have to manage several machines at once, takes you a lot of time to learn how the system behaves (e.g. you need to setup your own instrumentation system, otherwise you are working in the blind, to accommodate for the usage patterns) and you also need to learn some internals of the system in order to keep up with the development updates. Also, it depends a bit on the general service level you want to provide. From my experience, institutional cloud systems lack some of the key features of GCE or AWS. This makes it even harder to quickly recover from issues, for example because you do not have disk snapshots for easy rollback, etc. So, assuming you have extensive knowledge in maintaining a Linux system, some Python/node.js/database knowledge and general site ops experience, it might amount to 20h/week. -- harald -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
