EDIT DETAILS
We have an issue with the MediaWiki tests when running them on the 4GB RAM instances. We would need either RAM or Swap to be added to the Nodepool image.

Project Name: `contintcloud`
Private Flavor: 6G RAM / 2 vCPU / 40 Disk

-------

context
======

Running the long PHPUnit tests on Trusty / Zend php 5.5: tests fail to execute external commands and get: fork() - cannot allocate memory. That happens when php memory usage is roughly at 1900MBytes (maybe before that).
...
We have no straightforward way to add a Swap partition in the image that is created. I have been digging in the diskimage-builder utility but haven't found any easy way to do so.


Request
====


The low hanging fruit would thus be to create a new flavor with 6GB RAM. Since the issue only occurs on Zend 5.5 / Trusty, in Nodepool we would only change the `snapshot-ci-trusty` then rebuild the snapshot. Eg: 6G RAM / 2 vCPU / 40 Disk.

Alternatively, instead of adding more RAM, we could create a flavor with less disk (40G -> 35G) and a 5G Swap. But I have no idea how the boot would manage to find it though, potentially labelled `disk.swap`.
Can be experimented later on.
