= Toolforge sync: plans =

Notes from meeting's etherpad we had on 2018-11-07 to sync on Toolforge plans.

Meeting attendants:
* brooke
* gtirloni
* bryan
* andrew
* arturo

== plans & TODOs ==

* we can't mix both grids!
* misctools dependency on mariadb on stretch !!
* building a grid in toolsbeta cloudvps project, stretch with son of grid engine
* stretch test host with all packages and libraries to do early testing by tool owners?
** probably worth waiting until we have a minimal son of grid engine skeleton
* try a k8s worker node from toolsbeta in eqiad1-r to see if that can work cross-region etc
* plans for abandoned projects? contact James, open phab tasks

=== speculative timeline ===

* 2018-11-07: toolforge sync meeting
* 2018-11-15: have all stretch packaging done by this time (misctools, etc)
* 2018-11-30: skeleton son of grid engine grid working in toolsbeta
* 2018-12-01: email server rebuilt as stretch by this time
* 2018-12-21: skeleton son of grid engine grid working in tools
* 2019-01-01: start sending emails and opening phab tasks for tools users.
* 2018-01-15: figure out actual timeline and deadline for the rest of the process
* 2019-04-30: trusty deprecation deadline

== info on concrete nodes ==

Components:
* Grid engine
* cron server (grid submit host)
* exec nodes
** the new libraries are going to be very interesting +1
* k8s cluster --- try to keep this in jessie? apparently not related to grid engine at all.
** test stretch bastion
** we may have to move k8s to eqiad1-r prior to further operations on the new toolforge
* mail server (removing grid dependency) --- once the refactor is complete, we could be able to just rebuild in stretch
* redis instance? --- aparently not a grid submit host
* services nodes (aptly, bigbrother, updatetools, etc) --- ongoing refactor. Grid submit host bc bigbrother
** Bryan thinks we can "deprecate" bigbrother by not setting up the service on the new Stretch grid +1
* bastions
* checker (??)
* clushmaster (already jessie)
* elastic (already jessie)
* flannel (already jessie)
* paws (already stretch)
* ...
