  • XQueue (Kevin Falcone)
    • Removing RabbitMQ, not moving to Redis
    • Upgrade to Django 1.11
    • Going to production tomorrow morning
    • It's available but off by default in Devstack
    • PDF certificates go through XQueue, but edX doesn't use PDF certificates, so please test
    • Bug fixes!
  • General build process (John Mark Walker)
    • Want a community-driven process for regular build and test
    • Docker images, AMI, etc.  Maybe start with Bitnami?
    • Sven Marnach: the problem is how to configure and customize downloadable builds
    • Fred: Bitnami uses their own stack of infrastructure, very different than our typical stack
      • Omar: Bitnami also patches files in surprising ways
    • What would be the way to do it the right way?
    • People want a ready-to-go Docker image
      • Have people tried the regisb/FUN dockerfiles?
      • Some have tried, it's not quite ready for production, but a promising start
      • Paver vs Makefile issues
    • The goal here is to help newbies with deployment
    • edX DevOps would like to move logic into Makefiles and then use those from Ansible or Dockerfiles
    • Corey will make a DevOps Hopes and Dreams wiki page to lay out their best thoughts now about the path forward
    • Brian Beggs will link to a Platform "roadmap" page also....
  • Django 1.11 upgrade (Brian Beggs)
    • Going to production on Thursday this week
      • An index on auth_user has to be rebuilt due to a column length change
      • A waffle flag will prevent updates to auth_user during the migration
      • A few minutes of downtime at the end of the migration
      • Migrating from 1.8 to Django 1.11 has a defect that forces all the indexes on the auth_user table to be rebuilt
        • Django has a bug report about it
        • We'll do an intermediate migration to 1.10 to avoid the bug
    • Python 3 upgrade process will begin soon
      • Will probably take 18-24 months
      • Energize the community somehow?
    • Tox and travis are pervasive now, to help with these transition efforts
  • Hawthorn
    • Will not have an intermediate migration to 1.10
    • Brian's guess: 2MM rows, 10's of minutes?
  • No labels
