Description

Just had a 1/1 with @dduvall . I should write a big picture overview of what the ci isolation project is and a very rough road map.

Probably on wikitech, with the first item of the roadmap being to have nodepool to create a basic image and have it boot functional instances.

hashar claimed this task.

hashar raised the priority of this task from to Needs Triage.

hashar updated the task description. (Show Details)

I enhanced the documentation for diskimage-builder, the python soft that is used by Nodepool to create images. The upstream doc is at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/diskimage-builder/

Plan of action:

Antoine will write a first draft of this
Antoine and @thcipriani will pair on a reading/editing session on this (after Antione's vacation next week (week of April 11-15))
success?

After some thinking, the architecture documentation I wrote a year ago is a good enough big picture of the CI scaling project. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Continuous_integration/Architecture/Isolation I have marked it as historical / archived.

The next step we have is to phase out gallium for which we now have a subproject https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/1966/

As part of it, I will get a new architecture document covering the target of the CI infrastructure including Nodepool and without gallium.

Overview of the target architecture will be produced via T133300
