Re-image osmium and repurpose into VE testing host
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I'd like to have a bare-metal host to run VE performance regression tests on. osmium will do splendidly, and it's free now that the bulk of the HHVM migration work is complete. But for hygiene reasons it should be re-imaged.

This should technically go through procurement, which we decided to move from RT to Phab but haven't set up a process for it yet. Poking @RobH to figure out how to do this. Still needs @mark's approval I think.

Well, since I have to detail and work out that work flow post all-staff, I imagine this is going to sit until then. We're in the process of re-tooling how to request servers, and what tickets and tags it'll get.

That being said, I don't want this to be simply forgotten, so I am going to steal it and assign to myself, so it'll stare at me to get this process done and make this the first item through it ;D

If you guys need this before the end of the all staff, we can break procedure and just get it approved, but I prefer to do it properly. (Please advise.)

Procurement ticket: RT 9148

Approved to reuse osmium for this.
