Updates from each org on the call. What's new with your deployment(s)?
eduNEXT
Researched MySQL HA options to run inside Kubernetes. @Jhony Avella will create an issue to open the conversation on this topic in the Harmony Project
Experienced problems hosting ClickHouse in Kubernetes because of the amount of resources it consumes. An external machine running the service was implemented as a workaround, however, other options like using a ClickHouse cloud service could be considered.
@Jhony Avella worked on fixing issues related to infrastructure creation on Harmony PR 41. He will work on the Karpenter implementation through Helm.
2U
Worked in a container runtime comparison to drop docker-desktop.
Exploring Kompose as an option to bring developer environments to Kubernetes.
OpenCraft
Worked on Grafana dashboards for monitoring.
@Gábor Boros already provided feedback on the PR 41 in harmony. Some comments are still pending to be addressed.
There’s no ETA for the assessment to determine if the Harmony project could be used in production installations.
RaccoonGang
Working on running ClickHouse and superset in Kubernetes.
Analyzing alternatives to deploy production OpenedX instances with minimum resources. Some options include the classic Kubernetes Local installation and Kubernetes deployments with lighter K8S distributions (K8S single server?)
Testing Harmony to deploy OpenedX. Positive feedback was provided.
Harmony project updates: Review the list of PRs and issues, and assign anything un-assigned.
Open discussion/questions, if any.
The Large Instances meeting rescheduling is still being discussed (This comes from @Gábor Boros request in the last meeting). Max mentioned it would be convenient for him to have the meeting earlier. Find the links to the related poll below.

Grove from OpenCraft allows you to bring up sandboxes when applying changes to an OpenedX installation. Should we consider such a feature for Harmony? Would this help the adoption of Harmony in production installations?
