Discussion items



  • @Bob Monkman (Deactivated)

    • Cannot provide 24 machines to ONAP no matter what

    • How many actual servers needed to be supported for ONAP?

    • Not worth moving the existing HW to another location – too old- - "That gear may never even come back up again." 

    • Investigating possibility of funding / donating servers for for installation in an external community managed lab.

    • if new HW can be ordered and placed into a lab managed by someone else, then would ask for a ~90 day  security waiver and then shutdown the lab



  • @Morgan Richomme

    • Lab is used primarily for development but also by the integration team

    • did an audit in mid 2020 to identify utilization in an effort to free up resources for CI chain

    • Unnecessary users and VMs were cleaned up and removed.

    • ~300 VMs shared across the community by ~500 devs remain

    • 13 compute servers in active use today 

    • We know how many VMs were being used by each project, still some addl clean up could probably occur since the last one was 6-9 months ago

    • Desire is to retain the same level of compute & storage resources as current lab provides

    • Would like for the hardware to also be used for CI/CD for integration as well - currently only one chain left running in this lab today due to performance and stability issues, but development usage is the priority here.

    • Stephen Gooch had already proposed to move to a more cloud native management model



#Agreed 

  • current lab stays as is for now

  • Intel will look at capex potential - ability to do anything at all?  If so, how quickly?  @Bob Monkman (Deactivated)

  • LF will look into hosting locations and maintenance costs @Stevew Ira

  • Will run a new user / vm audit @Morgan Richomme
