do we need to build a subgroup to look at migration and production deployments ?

deployment environments

group

discusss Deployment Environments (general overview)

We should introduce and explain basic container concepts and produce an architectural diagram. Containers are a new frontier for many of us.

@Tod Olson at Chicago said they’d be willing to donate data for testing scenarios including  anonymized patron data.  

Discussion about priorities of topics:

  1. Deployment

  2. Migration

  3. Scalability/Performance

Likely deployments for SIG members -

Private cloud

Public cloud

VM’s (VMware)

Container services will likely be a part of most deployments. 

 

Wayne is available to help with working through deployment scenarios and specifics.

Do we have any Postgres DBA’s available to consult on database service design?

documentation

group

Wayne from IndexData said they could offer an architectural diagram.

Wish list:

  • A narrative that will provide instructions to bring up a viable sandbox for testing in a server environment.

  • Some sort of guide to help an institution choose a deployment method.

  • Avoid being too prescriptive

Areas of our documentation should include:

Deployment (in common scenarios)

Migration

Performance / Scalability

Security

Availability

Disaster recovery
