1636455 - Change community-tc default worker pool to n1-standard-2

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Taskcluster :: Operations and Service Requests, enhancement)

Description

[Dustin J. Mitchell [:dustin] (he/him)]

Currently the machineType defaults to n1-standard-4 - 4vcpu, 16GB RAM. That's probably more than many users of that machineType need. Marco suggested reducing that to n1-standard-2 (with half the resources).

Here's the current list of workers using n1-standard-4:

proj-bergamot/ci-linux
proj-bors-ng/ci
proj-cia/ci
proj-firefoxreality/ci-linux
proj-fuzzing/ci
proj-git-cinnabar/ci
proj-l10n/ci
proj-misc/ci
proj-releng/ci
proj-relman/ci
proj-relman/compute-small
proj-taskcluster/ci
proj-telemetry/compute-small
proj-webrender/ci-linux
proj-wpt/ci

We could start by doing this only for those which don't explicitly selected n1-standard-4 (e.g. proj-relman/compute-small and proj-telemetry/compute-small explicitly selected it, so they probably need it, but proj-wpt/ci didn't, so maybe it doesn't need it).

Yeah, makes sense -- and a PR with review flagged for an admin from each project would allow us to gauge the impact.

I think we did this.
