527486 - Move TestSwarm to New Server

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

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

Description

[John Resig]

TestSwarm has outgrown it's old VM and needs a new home. It's growing rather rapidly - and that's without many projects hooking in to it (right now only jQuery and jQuery UI are hooked in).

So far only 250 jobs have been submitted and about 10 gigs of data is being stored. That works out to about 41MB per job submitted (I expect this to be in the dozens of jobs per day when it's fully operational). Thankfully, the majority of that data is just HTML file dumps and could probably be stashed/compressed somewhere.

The server load is quite high right now (both in CPU and memory usage) so anything to alleviate that strain will help, as well.

I'll be doing some more rewriting on my end, to try and fix things up, so we'll hopefully find a good middle ground to work from.

zandr, can you provide an eta?  looks like you have a machine allocated but not built?

John, comment here when you want me to move DNS to point at the new host.
