Our ongoing project is relocating the core + functionality to a location in New Jersey with a formal + hosting arrangement. This is an equipment refresh, + consolidation for better use of resources, and for better + continuity of service.</p> + + <p>There is a significant amount of behind-the-scenes work to + make this happen. The original cluster was implemented with + a common, shared, assumed-to-be secure network with + ubiquitous NFS everywhere. This structure does not lend + itself well to being distributed across geographically + diverse locations, particularly when Internet transit is + required. The bulk of the work is rebuilding services to be + portable, stand-alone components that do not depend on + shared-network access and are safe enough to use across the + insecure Internet.</p> + + <p>Highlights this quarter:</p> + + <ul> + <li>Many internal distribution systems switched from rsync to + a distribution mesh using "syncthing".</li> + <li>We have implemented more code/data signing infrastructure + with out-of-band verification.</li> + <li>New 32-core reference build hosts are online.</li> + <li>Internal admbugs switched from bugzilla 4.4 to 5.0 and + packages were made available for the bugmeister team.</li> + <li>Finally switched from varnish3 to varnish4.</li> + <li>We exorcised hub.FreeBSD.org, the last survivor of the + 2012 security incident.</li> + <li>vuxml and the legacy portaudit build system were converted to + components and integrated.</li> + <li>https://download.FreeBSD.org/ is nearing completion (please + do not use until officially announced).</li> + <li>A Taiwan node was brought into service for pkg, ftp, + svn, and vuxml mirroring.</li> + <li>One of the freebsd-update mirrors was converted from + lighttpd to nginx due to a data corruption bug.</li> + <li>Completed detachment of the svn repository from the old + cluster and moved it to its new location.</li> + </ul> + + <p>Ongoing:</p> + + <ul> + <li>The cluster runs a mixture of 11-current and 10-stable + as part of our "eat our own dogfood" project. For this + to be useful we do monthly cluster refreshes to keep up with + current code.</li> + <li>We build internal base system snapshots every few days + and packages every day.</li> + <li>We also provide support for non-clusteradm-operated + services including jenkins, reviews, portsnap, + freebsd-update, bugzilla, package builders, git, and mercurial. + This varies from as little as maintaining SSL front-ends + through operating servers, distributing data or building + packages/binaries to run.</li> + </ul> + </body> + </project> + </report>
