Weekly Project Infrastructure team meeting

The OpenDev Team holds public weekly meetings in #opendev-meeting, Tuesdays at 1900 UTC. Everyone interested in infrastructure and process surrounding automated testing and deployment is encouraged to attend.

Please feel free to add agenda items (and your IRC nick in parenthesis).

Agenda for next meeting

• Announcements

• Actions from last meeting

• Specs approval

• Priority Efforts (Standing meeting agenda items. Please expand if you have subtopics.)
  • Update Config Management
    • topic:update-cfg-mgmt
    • Zuul as CD engine
  • OpenDev
    • Gerrit account inconsistencies
      • All preferred emails lack external ids issues have been corrected. All group loops have been corrected.
      • Workaround is we can stop Gerrit, push to external ids directly, reindex accounts (and groups?), start gerrit, then clear accounts caches (and groups caches?)
      • Next steps
        • More "dangerous" list has been generated. Should still be safe-ish particularly if we disable the accounts first.
    • Configuration tuning
      • Reduce the number of ssh threads. Possibly create bot/batch user groups and thread counts as part of this.
      • https://groups.google.com/g/repo-discuss/c/BQKxAfXBXuo Upstream conversation with people struggling with similar problems.

• General topics
  • Refreshing non LE certs that expire in just under a month (clarkb 20210525)
    • Shutdown/remove: ask.o.o
      • https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/792789
    • Refresh as yearly cert or try to LE: ethercalc, wiki, translate, storyboard
      • https://review.opendev.org/c/opendev/system-config/+/792708
    • Meeting with foundation to discuss: openstackid and openstackid-dev
      • They are interested in taking on the hosting but due to timing we probably need to provision a cert for it. Will look into LE for this as well.
  • Potentially Migrating away from Freenode to OFTC (clarkb 20210525)
    • Freenode is under new management
    • Freenode policies are changing
    • http://lists.opendev.org/pipermail/service-discuss/2021-May/000236.html
  • Switch Vexxhost to provide only specialized labels in Nodepool (clarkb 20210525)
  • Picking up steam on Puppet -> Ansible rewrites (clarkb 20210525)
    • Enable Xenial -> Bionic/Focal system upgrades
    • https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/infra-puppet-conversions-and-xenial-upgrades Start capturing TODO list here
    • Zuul is done. Mailman next
      • Need to snapshot the server then perform in place upgrades on a test node based on the snapshot.
  • Scheduling project renames (clarkb 20210525)
    • Our playbook(s) that do renames likely need updating since the last gerrit upgrade.
      • We can test this with our functional testing of gerrit too.

• Open discussion
