904672 - install and configure the OS for new android x86 emulation servers

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations :: RelOps: General, task)

Description

[Amy Rich [:arr] [:arich]]

Relops needs to create puppet node defs for the 64 new android x86 emulation nodes (same as the ubuntu test nodes) and kickstart them once they are installed in the datacenter.

clint/coop/hal, what should the names of these machines be?  My understanding is that we're installing the linux64 ubuntu image on them, so should they match the hostnames of the rest of those machines (talos-linux64-ix-NNN), or should they have a new "OS" part like androidx86 and follow the naming convention at https://wiki.mozilla.org/ReleaseEngineering/Slave_Naming and be:

t-androidx86-ix-NNN

As far as I know, buildbot does not base any of its determinations of what to run where on the machine name (at least I hope not!) and so we can name these whatever we want.  And given that the machine name should function as a mechanism to make it easy for your team (Amy) to find/fix/diagnose issues with these machines, I'd recommend naming them following the existing convention for the linux hardware machines since that's how your team will likely think of them.

I'm happy to be overruled by releng if they have a preference though, as this is just my two cents.

Armeng is our guru of names -- what do you suggest?

Buildbot doesn't care (directly), but lots of our other scripts do care. Consistency for the win!

talos-linux64-ix-NNN please. We're just expanding the pool.

Great, thanks, I'll start the prep work on that.
