There's a few things we could do on fas load:
a) add more fas servers.
b) reduce the number of runs. How often do we change someone in
sysadmin-noc, sysadmin-main, sysadmin-build?
c) move to a system where we only re-run fasClient when there is a
change.
I'm thinking for the hosts which are sysadmin-ish only - do C.
for the publicish hosts continue to poll fas directly.
so:
- hosted, people, bastion, publictests == poll
- everything else is a set built and pushed to them.
I'd agree collectd off probibly. Or at least a seperate one if
we
needed to monitor them.
I'm not sure what benefit we get from collectd on transient builders,
though.
On our long-running hosts I understand but not on the builders.
Yeah, we could hopefully have another network thats larger than /24
for the arm builders.
I can imagine various network changes should easily allow us to
allocate larger than a /24 to the internal build network.
I'm sure some of this will be a process of 'oh no, what we
have now
doesn't scale, lets fix it'. Of course some of it we can get ready for
up front too.
yay for planning! :)
Overall I like the idea of the automated builder re-install and
think
it will get us more ready for things like a large arm cluster.
Then I will get crackin' on making it work.
