Agenda

Upcoming Equinix Amsterdam Power Maintenance / HE.net Maintenance

https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues/1051 (Equinix)
https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues/1059 (HE.net)

On suggestion to switch sites

  • Rejected, as it might be too risky and a hard fail in Postgres.
  • There are some remaining barriers for easily switching, including how to easily move the diff generation.
  • Currently there is no simple way to migrate the primary DB server. It is a painful process, documented on the OPS wiki.

Other points mentioned during discussion

  • Concern on the breaker flipping on the other power feed (32 amps on the breaker, we're using 12).
  • We aren't going to have the inrush from hard drive spin up since they're not going to be spinning up, or from the capacitors, because they're already connected.
    ** One of our power supplies on HP machine runs at 5 watts, but caps are fully charged.
  • If the break is due to us, it might take them longer to fix it.
  • Grant happy to do a test.

'''Action item: Grant to post the maintenance outage notice.'''

Equinix

  • We have to proceed assuming we won't get sponsorship by Equinix.
  • We asked them for a discounted price on power and they are giving us an extra kilowatt for a slightly lower price.
  • We do not have many options available.
  • We have contacted the Equinix foundation and if we provide some details that they asked for, they might have a look at them.

Suggestion: Send to the Equinix Foundation the details they asked for.

'''Action item: Grant to reply to Equinix, to accept their offer.'''

Any other business: Vector Tiles

  • Paul to look at deployment for Vector Tiles relatively soon, as parallelism tasks are turning out to be quite easy. Also plans to revisit earlier work at a later point, as fixes will be easier to do.
  • Paul would like to do it with Docker. DB to be run out of the container.
    ** As Podman adds networking latency, it might not be preferable.
  • Grant happy to help with containers.

Suggestions on getting the Chef tests running:

  • Write a test and execute it using chef.
  • Follow documentation for running chef tests, including installing Docker and Ruby.
  • Use existing code as a template if needed.
  • Set up a container for tests. This container functions like a virtual machine, allowing effective interaction.
