bking added a comment to T436281: Evaluate Prometheus Blackbox Autodiscovery on dse-k8s.

The dse-k8s prometheus instance is known as k8s-dse on the prometheus hosts themselves. prometheus[1-2]00[7-8] host dse-k8s prometheus instances, so any changes we make should start there.

Thanks Lukasz and Moritz. I'll create the VM myself and release the host into DC Ops inventory as you suggested.

bking added a comment to T435595: [Spike] Evaluate OpenTofu against the RADOS Gateway for IAM and bucket provisioning.

I just wanted to mention that Terraform/OpenTofu supports other backends besides file, including Kubernetes, S3, http, and postgres. I don't know if this changes the design, but I did want to mention there are options that might be a little more friendly to gitops. Secrets in plaintext are still a concern, but we should audit those and see it's possible to avoid them, perhaps by using OpenTofu's ephemeral support.

bking added a comment to T438058: Compare performances of the semantic search cluster between ceph and local SSD based storages.

During the course of testing, Erik and I noticed some extremely high I/O wait on dse-k8s-worker100[1-4]. Looking closer at the hardware, it seems that the 1.82 TB LVM PV used by TopoLVM is a virtual drive presented by the hosts' hardware RAID cards, and the devices are comprised of rotational disks:

@MoritzMuehlenhoff I don't see any value to tying this service to a specific server, particularly one that seems broken. I guess I would flip the question around: what do I gain from waiting a month plus for Supermicro support to come back with canned answers, and bouncing the ticket back and forth between DPE/DC Ops/IF? This seems like a perfect use case for VMs to me. Please let me know if I am missing something.

If there's no measurable impact after a few hours, we will roll back.

bking added a comment to T435354: krb1002 booting up extremely slow.

Hey all, just a heads-up that we are going to replace this host with a VM, so DPE SRE no longer needs it for Kerberos. If y'all want to reimage or make any other changes, feel free.

bking added a comment to T436003: Migrate Matomo frontend to Kubernetes.

I've added the tables to the matomo-next database on matomo1003, so we should be able to start testing the helm chart soon.

bking added a comment to T436281: Evaluate Prometheus Blackbox Autodiscovery on dse-k8s.

@herron Thanks for the questions! We were (and are) still in an early phase of hosting quasi-aaS platforms like OpenSearch, Airflow, etc on dse-k8s so it's possible we missed something.

bking added a comment to T437937: Attempt to use VM as Kerberos primary.

As promised, I've assigned the primary role to the krb1004 host. I've verified that changes are still syncing by changing my password and verified the change has propagated to other hosts. As we expected, assigning the primary role did not increase krb1004 's resource usage (the more-impactful client-side changes already took place in T435873).
