1275993 - Need 3 additional AWS Wowza Streaming Engine Instances

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations :: SRE, task)

Description

[Richard A Milewski[:richard]]

We need to spin up three additional Wowza Engine instances.  One of the three should be in an AWS data center in Europe.

All three should be BYOB versions of the engine appliance.

All three should be on the same size EC2 instance we're using now.

Richard, please set up a meeting with you, me, and :cshields to discuss this. I'd like to better understand your current and future needs before we go much farther.

Will do.  Is IT yet at the point where we can automate spinning-up and tearing down (or sleeping) an AWS EC-2 instance?

Ultimately I'd like to spin them up for an event and tear them down when the event finishes.  If we can do that, then we can scale as needed and actually reduce the overall cost.

Right now we're coming up on a bunch of events in Europe (Workweek, View Source Berlin, Mozfest) so I'd rather aim an encoder at an AWS Wowza instance in Europe than the ones in Portland.

I also want to EOL the Wowza engine in SCL3, and we're now occasionally having to shift people's meeting times because we run short of Wowza capacity.

I'll try to schedule the meeting for tomorrow.

None of the people on this bug are around, and these are being decom'ed in bug 1442769.  Closing.
