Hello!

I have a couple questions:

• how much of the requested space will be freed up again after you finish the transition?
• are your existing hosts really using all the provisioned RAM? (I know that CPU usage tends to be bursty but maybe you have an idea of that too.)

@Andrew current RAM usage for the two VMs

and CPU usage for the wlmitvisual01 instance (the other one is negligible, but might be because not yet fully setup):

@Ferdi2005 is my understanding correct that some of the current workload of wlmitvisual01 will go into the new wlm-job host? Because if that's the case it doesn't seem you need all that additional resources, but I might be missing some context. In particular if the same pre-existing load will be split, CPU seems already largely unused and the RAM too seems to not require particular increases if part of the used RAM from the old host goes to the new job host.

I'd also take the opportunity to remind you that wlmitvisual01 instance is still a Debian Bullseye that will be EOL at the end of August, make sure to upgrade/migrate it soon to a more recent version ;)

Yes, the workload will be split in two machines, but the workload will likely increase given that we are going to support more and more countries in the following months. We also need some additional resources (double what's currently used) to set up the staging environment, so the resource usage will double. Most of the usage happens in september-october but the syncing work is always active. If you think that a minor quota is fine, we can try working with that and increase it in case of need. Thank you @Volans
