994283 - Please loan tst-linux64- instance to dminor

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Infrastructure & Operations Graveyard :: CIDuty, task)

Description

[Dan Minor [:dminor]]

We're looking to get b2g desktop tests running within taskcluster. 

Having access to an ec2 instance configured like the tst-linux64-spot instances would make it easier to duplicate the test environment within a taskcluster docker image (or get things working outside of docker, if we go that route.)

Working on this now...

Comment 2

[Pete Moore [:pmoore][:pete]]

OK I hit some problems, notably that we got double PTR records - I need to fix this, wait for DNS to propogate, and then recreate instance.

[[e-mail] ~]$ host 10.134.56.24
24.56.134.10.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer tst-linux64-ec2-dminor.test.releng.use1.mozilla.com.
24.56.134.10.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer tst-linux64-ec2-120.test.releng.use1.mozilla.com.
[[e-mail] ~]$ 

Since it is getting rather late in Germany, I'll delete the DNS entries now, and run the recreation (with a fresh head) tomorrow morning, if that's ok.

Sorry for the delay!

Thanks,
Pete

OK, bad records deleted:

Will rerun cloud-tools/scripts/aws_create_instance.py tomorrow morning after dns propogation...

Hey Dan,

We had fires in buildduty all morning, with trees closed - so I had to give that my attention. Now that things have calmed down, I am back to this - hope to have the machine with you shortly.

Thanks,
Pete

Email sent to :dminor for further instructions. 

Loaning slave: 
    tst-linux64-ec2-dminor.test.releng.use1.mozilla.com

Hi Dan, I am going to assign this to you to keep track of the loan(s). 

When you are finished with the loan(s) forever, please comment stating so and mark this bug as resolved.

By the way, now that this aws instance has been created, starting and stopping it can happen in a flash!
If you are not going to be using this machine for multiple hours, let us know in this bug and we can stop it. Comment again when you want it started back up.

*For really fast turnaround, ping #releng (look for nick with 'buildduty')

I'm only using it occasionally, would it be ok to shut it down but not terminate it?

Comment 9

[Jordan Lund (:jlund)]

tst-linux64-ec2-dminor.test.releng.use1.mozilla.com has been stopped but not terminated.

Please ping us in #releng if you need it started again with short notice.

Thanks for letting us stop it for a while :)
