Still, interesting to see that -- give or take a few dollars or SPECints or GBs -- AWS is competitive even to generous hosted offers. The hosted price is based on general public price. It is not taking into account any special deal that the said generous hoster may or may not extend to us. So yeah AWS can be competitive with hosted solution, it can even be way more interesting for _some_ usage pattern, like if you have a process that can fit the spot-instance restrictions, which we indeed considered and _is_ part of the mix.

And while the manitu server has more cores, Amazons Intel Xeon E5-2680 v2 is more that twice as fast per thread than the Opterons 6272 on the root-server[2]. Actually, amazons offer is already breaking the front-up cost even after ~6 months -- and we save costs should there be downtimes for any reason. As such, I seems to me a reserved ec2 instance is still the way to go ...

I do not know exactly how much we will need of each, but I know that 20TB a month is enough.. and I know we can make do with 4TB Are you volunteering to monitor the $-meter to figure out where we stand week after week to make sure we do not run out ? And if we would a i2.4xlarge comes already with that. and that is i2.4xlarge $7280 + $0.621 per Hour = $15K vat included. + badnwidth cost.

minutes for call about new testing hardware
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
