Presenters
Accomplishments
- BIND to NSD / Unbound migration, we now have a redundant set of external and internal authoritatives / resolvers
- New services hosted: ODRS
- StartCOM to Let's Encrypt + Gandi SSL certificates migration
- Hosts decommissioned: clipboard.gnome.org (previously known as ns-master.gnome.org)
- Mailman upgrade to 2.1.23 (introduces support to properly handle e-mails sent to domains having DKIM enabled)
- Puppet 3 master has been setup, hosts running RHEL 7 (or newer Ubuntu releases) are configured to pick it up as their puppet server by default
- Servers warranty renewals happened, thanks to the GNOME Foundation for making this happen
- Just one host left running RHEL 5 (we're pretty much on RHEL 6 and 7 everywhere)! Ubuntu hosts are running 16.04.2 LTS
- New initiatives launched: CI/CD with Jenkins
- cgit move to Gitlab: production and testing instances have been setup, pilot program about to get started
- New aarch64 box has been provisioned and made available to interested parties
- FedOAuth to Ipsilon migration, using your GNOME account on websites supporting id.gnome.org as one of their available OpenID providers has never been easier!
- Offsite backup facility has been provisioned and hosting all the GNOME machines backups, thanks Fedora Infrastructure Team!
- Puppet code refactoring
- The GNOME Infrastructure Team is proud to mention we're never been so stable and reliable as during these 4 past years! No major outages, no downtimes that affected the productivity of our community and developers, well done everyone!
Challenges & Opportunities
Finalizing the cgit to GitLab move in case the pilot program we'll be launching soon will be a success and the feedback from the community positive
- Finalizing the last RHEL 5 host decommission
