357476 - cg-vmware01: Create VM for web site testing/staging

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 358841

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Reed Loden [:reed]]

I would like to request a VM for web site testing / staging for the various Mozilla websites I work on. Currently, I've been using landfill for this, but now with the new server, I'd like to get a separate VM just for web stuff.

mkanat thinks that 40GB with 512MB RAM will be enough.

Also, can we get another IP for this VM? mkanat says that if landfill gets the IP, he can have landfill's iptables manage the firewall for it and then redirect stuff to the VM.

Thanks in advance!

Just to clarify: I currently use landfill as a middle-ground between the "real" stage server and my development work. I can't actually test the site on my personal server, so landfill is the first place I can see it besides the "real" stage servers.

This will need to be approved through community giving as is outside the scope of Bugzilla/landfill replacement.

The server license is approved.  Community program will pay the cost.  Justin and I will meet on Monday, 10/30/06 to discuss the final payment.

That doesn't fix this bug, though, unless the VM is already up and I have the password. :-)
