15:21:28 <mackonstan> #topic FD.io 2022 lab budget
15:21:59 <mackonstan> #info Requesting funding for six expansion areas:
15:22:08 <mackonstan> #info 1. AWS Performance Testing: Provide CSIT with increased testing capabilities to execute test suite against AWS Cloud server configurations and report results, significantly increasing the testing profile of the lab, without investing in physical hardware. Request for budget to execute tests in AWS ~12k/year.
15:22:17 <mackonstan> #info 2. Build machines: faster Arm, as current VPP build takes 1hr on Arm, vs sub-20min on x86.
15:22:25 <mackonstan> #info 3. 3. Performance testbeds: testbeds with i) fast Arm servers (promised in the past, but still not confirmed; ii) low power x86/Atom/SnowRidge servers as suggested by Matthew Smith; iii) new Intel Xeon SapphireRapids SuperMicro servers that are confirmed to ship in CY2022. Plus Xeon servers for TG/TRex per FD.io lab funding agreement.
15:22:34 <mackonstan> #info 4. Replace software Router: Invest in physical router/switch in DC. Virtual router currently used to manage subnets, identified as the root cause of several underlying issues. (~2500K)
15:22:43 <mackonstan> #info 5. Testing Data Analytics: Request for servers and/or AWS services to process testing data for report generation. Cisco provided existing data backend servers in lab.
15:22:52 <mackonstan> #info 6. Continue rack allocation, with 6th rack allocation, as originally requested and approved in 2019.
14:01:43 <collab-meetbot> mackonstan: Error: Can't start another meeting, one is in progress.  Use #endmeeting first.
