Subject: Upcoming Datacenter move reminder and plans

Greetings.

As previously announced, fedoraproject is moving many of it's servers from one datacenter (phx2 near phoenix, arizona, usa) to another (iad2: near arlington, virginia, usa).

As we move from the old datacenter to the new, we will have a temporary reduction in capacity. The new datacenter has a smaller, less-redundant, lower-capacity version of our infrastructure. Over the next two weeks, we will migrate services to it so that we can finish moving out of the old datacenter.

After everything is moved from the old datacenter, many of the servers there will be shipped to the new datacenter and then re-added to bring us back to full redundency and capacity. 

Out detailed checklist for these migrations is available at https://hackmd.io/@fedorainfra2020/rJpsA4FLL

To summarize what we are moving when: 

2020-06-03 wed: The fedoraproject master mirrors will move to IAD2. A very small outage may be noticed as dns changes. There may be some mirroring slowdowns as we work out bugs.

2020-06-04 thu: Our internal ansible control host and the fedoraproject wiki will move. The wiki will be down for a few hours.

2020-06-05 fri: Our meeting minutes archive (https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org) and our freenode irc bot (zodbot). These two services will see a hour outage or less.

2020-06-07 sun: We will pause for the next week adding new packages and unretiring packages to avoid problems. 

2020-06-08 mon: Our fedora-messaging bus and gateways to it (github2fedmsg, bugzilla2fedmsg), mirrormanager, product definition center (pdc), and our identity and auth system. Messages over our message bus may be slow or missing and users may be unable to login at various times as we migrate services over. 

Additionally, we will be stopping services that will not be back until later in the month. 
These include: 
 * Fedocal
 * Badges
 * Nuancier
 * koschei
 * simple-koji-ci
 * All staging services (*.stg.fedoraproject.org)

2020-06-09 tue: The build and packaging ecosystem. This includes koji, src.fedoraproject.org, osbs, odcs, container registries, bodhi (updates system). During this day maintainers should avoid builds/updates if at all possible as they may or may not work at various times. 

2020-06-10 wed: Various small apps (mdapi, anitya, waiverdb, greenwave, etc), mailman/lists.fedoraproject.org, and our datagrepper/datanommer services. Mailing lists will be down for several hours as data is migrated. Datagrepper will be down for most of the day as it's database is moved. Other services will be down for short amounts of time while they are moved.

2020-06-11 thu: Various small site building apps (docs building, fedora websites building, reviewstats, blockerbugs) and elections will be moved. elections will be up until the currently running elections complete. (GO VOTE! https://elections.fedoraproject.org)

2020-06-12 fri: Catch up and fix issues day, along with re-enabling package unretirements/new packages, and other 'paused' items.

The week after this servers will be shipped and the week after that we expect to start setting them up and getting them re-added. During this time, we may have to make further changes to what services are available in order to deal with load changes. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please file an infrastructure ticket ( https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure) or come talk to us in #fedora-admin on irc.freenode.net. 

Finally, I'd like to ask everyone to be patient as we do this move. I know that it's painful when you are unable to contibute something when you have time to do so, but rest assured that we are trying to migrate things as quickly and smoothly as we can.

Thanks.
