Off-Hours Guidelines
D4. Define guidelines/best practices around pausing/stopping environments when they're not in use - e.g. off-hours/weekends/etc.
...
- Yogesh Kumar still working on a few details with Kitfox
- Should release environments also have off-hours? (From Kitfox sprint review: Peter Murray discussed bringing to PC and TC whether we bring the same weekend suspension to the hosted release environments. Peter will look at what savings that would be.)
- Maybe start with weekends only? Peter Murray will estimate cost savings. No actual env changes for that right now.
- Look at logs also, see who accesses them over the weekend.
- Maybe higher use nearer a flower release.
- Look at snapshot, snapshot-2, and the two release environments
- Maybe start with weekends only? Peter Murray will estimate cost savings. No actual env changes for that right now.
Today:
- Yogesh Kumar still a few things to wrap up with Kitfox (updating document), hopefully wrapping up today.
- Peter Murray still to look at the weekend cost savings estimate for reference release environments.
Budgets / Cost Anomaly Detection
...
- Review draft environment "price list" / "recipes" from Yogesh Kumar if ready.
- Yogesh presented: Namespace configurations costs estimation
- Consensus looks good!
- Yogesh Kumar will double-check Kafka embedded vs. shared – why is shared more expensive?
- Add "daily" by price in each table.
Reviewing Environments to Shut Down
...
- Mark Veksler draft guidelines on who should have permissions to what operations in AWS. What will each team be allowed to do. Link from ACRG doc.
- Permissions on operations in AWS? Right now AWS is just Kitfox, but Jenkins jobs are available to dev teams.
- Kitfox prefers a self-service model.
- Yogesh Kumar will update the environment lifecycle document to indicate what dev teams can do.
Today:
- TODO
Off-hours shutdown during weekday evenings
...
- Kitfox is looking at this. What would work best for each team? Ticket pending.
- We can at least look at the findings, and decide to do something or not. Harder b/c geographical spread.
Today:
- Yogesh Kumar still investigating
One-time estimate?
- So ACRG has something to base it on in future years. Estimate and how we made it.
- Treasurer probably about to ask anyway.
- Peter Murray think about a process. Reconstruct from past years, bring to the group.
