756672 - Order production machines for signing service

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

Ryan: Can you make a note here of general hardware spec expectations for the receipt signing boxes.

Is using VMs at this stage an option for the service?

Primary concern under load will be the number of parallel execution pipelines.  I'd say that 8+ cores of a respectable speed(2GHz+) should be more than sufficient until actual load starts hitting the service.

I have no idea what the hardware spec is for the current production machines.  Tagging in oremj for info on current equipment.

Over the weekend an issue occurred with the BMO database which resulted in duplication of dependencies. The dependency issue may have resulted in "Depends On" and "Blocks" values being removed while updating a bug. This issue should now be resolved, however dependencies may need to be manually restored to some bugs.

This bug had dependencies removed during the failure period and will need verification that the dependency removal(s) were intentional. Please help out by taking a look at this bug and adding anything back that was mistakenly removed.

Hardware was racked some months ago and put to prod, closing out.
