Present: Doug Warner (silfreed), Michael Dosser (tanker), Eric Jung (ericjung), Myk Melez (myk)
Discussion was held publically in #mozdev
Discussed Mic's sysadmin priorities:
- Amazon EC2/S3 setup is going well
- Need to determine whether to move old logfiles to EC2 for processing
- Just running EC2 is $72/mo ($0.10/hr) (plus storage)
- VM time is $0.10/Hr
- Transfer is $0.10/GB
- Storage is $0.15/GB (need a period of time for this)
- We have 425 days of logs to transfer equalling 34GB
- 34GB = $3.40 to transfer the data
- Decided to transfer the logs and process
- Results will be 800MB/day (uncompressed)
- Options are to leave the data on the EC2/S3 instance and pay
CPU + Storage
- bandwidth to view the stats, or leave the VM powered off except to transfer the log files, process, and transfer the results.
- Storage for current results are .8 * 426 * 0.15 = \$52/mo
- We need to figure out what the results compress to in order to figure out our monthly bandwith costs
- Stick with EC2/S3 for now until the costs are clearer
- some minor security work was also done to the servers
Discussed Doug's developer priorities:
- Drupal has been progressing well:
- Have been recently working on solidifying default installation process using "Install Profiles" that will make setting up the database and settings for each project easy
- Discussed ability to sync logins; I'll look into pulling login info from our current database
- Curerntly working to solidify permissions and create installation profile
- Target is to get the setup usable by end-of-week
- Eric: timeline for implementation? Doug: 2-3 weeks; the project is going very well
- LDAP for logins
- Briefly mentioned that an LDAP database for user logins might make integration between packages easier
- Eric and Mic both have experience
- Eric is concerned with the implementation; might be difficult/ugly
- IRCatWork.com replacement for Eric?
- host at admin.mozdev.org?
- I'll check w/ people to see if it's feasible
