15:04:37 <mackonstan> #info Physical infra updates
15:05:15 <mackonstan> #info New Intel Xeon ICX based testbeds - supermicro HW shipment (motherboard, chassis) delayed till Oct/Nov, other components are already onsite
15:05:29 <mackonstan> #info Trending updates
15:05:54 <mackonstan> #info Daily (MRR rapid-fire tests), weekly (NDRPDR proper perf) process:
15:06:09 <mackonstan> #info 1) nat44ed 16M sessions test, sessions not getting established in allotted time for some tests;
15:06:19 <mackonstan> #info 2) deterministic for specific (frame_size, core config): ipsec sw asyn tests, no traffic forwarded;
15:07:08 <mackonstan> #info Releases: CSIT-2106 report published mid-July includes Icelake results tested externally in Intel labs using CSIT; CSIT-2110 tracking on time
15:07:16 <mackonstan> #info CSIT-2110 release deliverables, see link
15:07:22 <mackonstan> #link https://wiki.fd.io/view/CSIT/csit2110_plan
15:07:30 <mackonstan> #info Virtual infra updates
15:08:05 <mackonstan> #info All FD.io systems are finally in a single DC location hosted by Vexxhost, incl. all used LF IT systems, all connectivity issues induced by WAN are (seemingly) behind us for good :)
15:09:02 <mackonstan> #topic Hoststack - Florin updating
15:09:38 <mackonstan> #info session layer - support for axx socket for application use
15:10:29 <mackonstan> #info TLS - refactored picoTLS relying on vpp crypto infra, performance looks really good, 15 Gbps with openssl, 18 Gbps with picoTLS, 1 connection 1 worker
15:10:47 <mackonstan> #info using sync crypto in all cases
15:11:07 <mackonstan> #info happy to discuss if testing with async crypto makes sense
15:12:14 <mackonstan> #info can now bootstrap hoststack with binary API, without touching VCL
15:15:22 <mackonstan> #info Damjan q: is there a need for vpp crypto infra to support for TLS key negotiation/handling etc, apart from the data channel supported today, and then support different crypto backends e.g. ipsecmb
15:17:08 <mackonstan> #info Florin a: it may improve sessions/sec, will need to check if picoTLS supports,
15:18:24 <mackonstan> #topic Documentation
15:18:53 <mackonstan> #info Nathan: spent few hrs on polishing fd.io documentation, removing old/stale info a.o.
15:20:05 <mackonstan> #info Dave Wallace: similarly, updating the FD.io CI/infra related content; should be done before 21.10 branch is pulled
15:20:39 <mackonstan> #info Dave W: Peter Mikus from csit converted all CSIT docs to s3, available at usual links prefixed with "s3-"
15:21:58 <mackonstan> #info Dave W: for vpp, optimizing the way per release docs are generated, make test docs, doxygen, …
15:22:35 <mackonstan> #topic VPP rls mgmt - Andrew
15:22:50 <mackonstan> #info 21.10 rc1 next week Wed 21-Sep
15:23:58 <mackonstan> #info vpp v21.01 completed, csit tests also done and published
15:24:42 <mackonstan> #info re v21.01, v21.06 rls's - currently nothing else planned
15:25:42 <mackonstan> #info coverity pages - still number of outstanding defects
15:25:44 <mackonstan> #link https://github.com/vpp-dev/vpp-coverity-report
15:26:33 <mackonstan> #info Andrew looking for feedback about the notification mechanism to use, attempts to date are not yielding desired effect, double digit of open defects
15:28:40 <mackonstan> #info Florin Q: asking about the process of removing deprecated APIs
15:29:14 <mackonstan> #info Andrew A: process not fully hashed out yet, at least 3mths(?) between marking API deprecated and removing it

15:37:24 <mackonstan> #info done a lot and break a lot :)
15:37:31 <mackonstan> #info big thanks to all involved
15:38:23 <mackonstan> #info deployed jcasc - jenkins configuration as source code - system was broken for few days - but now can maintain majority of jenkins config thru git repo in ci-managment project, so huge improvement
15:38:38 <mackonstan> #info all HW infra now in one DC location YUL1
15:39:33 <mackonstan> #info updated build discarder, all jenkins artefacts deleted after 30 days, all log archives in s3 (thx again to Peter Mikus for doing all of the integration for this)
15:40:23 <mackonstan> #info corrective note to hoststack update done by Florin: "added support for abstract sockets for app namespaces. Easier to use with containers"
15:41:35 <mackonstan> #info observed some git clone failures - result of interim w/a patch to avoid WAN WireGuard links - after revert all good again
15:42:14 <mackonstan> #info monitoring jenkins jobs daily - looking healthier than ever

15:44:52 <mackonstan> #topic CY2022 FD.io Budget
15:51:33 <mackonstan> #info Maciek areas of investment under discussion: csit data backend, aws performance tests execution, more rack space
15:52:44 <mackonstan> #info Matthew: what about a newer ATOM processors, SnowRidge
15:54:07 <mackonstan> #info Damjan: problem is there are not many (none?) commercially available systems with SNR. aimed at mobility market, but nothing available from the open market.
15:54:52 <mackonstan> #info Maciek: putting a placeholder for this SnowRidge/SNR ask, in addition to some new Arm/Xeon systems
15:55:13 <mortderire> Did someone mention SNR
15:55:59 <mackonstan> yes, see notes above
