Agenda items from Infra: -------------------------- # Refresh Hetzner servers dilfridge pointed out that demeter.amd64.dev.gentoo.org is being used to build the new binary packages, and is almost at capacity. It's Hetzner's AX51-NVME model, with 64GB RAM & 2x1TB NVME, presently costing ~EUR58/mo Checking the other Hetzner servers, the oldest node is oystercatcher, which is a PX90-SSD, w/ 64GB RAM & 2x240G SATA SSD: costing ~EUR100/mo. I'd like to move demeter.amd64.dev.gentoo.org's workload to a higher-spec server (new CPU generation, double core count, double RAM, double storage): Hetzner AX102 or equivalent specification from Hetzner's Server Auction models, cost of EUR104/mo plus EUR39 setup. At that point, replace oystercatcher to either re-use the old demeter instance or a better deal from Hetzner's server auction. (The other two servers at Hetzner are calonectris & wagtail, that handle logging & failover for Git; they are newer than oystercatcher, one of them is sponsored by Hetzner already). ## Net financial impact: - Demeter new AX102: +104 EUR/mo, +EUR39 setup. - oystercatcher->demeter content swap: 0 EUR/mo change - decom old oystercatcher hardware: -EUR100/mo = Net: EUR4/mo, EUR39 one-time charge. -------------------------- # Add hardware for ONLINE historical distfile archive Bug #834712 is a draft proposal to add a ONLINE historical distfile archive A number of community members have collected distfiles over Gentoo's history, but it doesn't exist online in a single place (e.g. my own archives exist on offline LTO tapes, as part of my personal backups). This needs somewhere in the realm of 4-8TB of online storage, based on the bug research so far (wide range due to the need to verify duplicate files without a coherent set of checksums over a 20-year span, as well as excluding mirror-restricted files). The existing servers at Hetzner do not have enough storage, so a different hosting location is required. The service would be backed by CDN77's CDN service, in case there are accidentally some hot files, to avoid bandwidth issues or slamming slow disks. There would also be a periodic backup into AWS S3 Glacier, able to re-create the server if needed; however serving data from S3 directly is cost prohibitive (a full restore for 8TB of data would cost USD20). A stretch goal could be also hosting historical snapshots and then historical release media, but those are less critical than the distfiles themselves. ## Option 1: Use drive slots in {killdeer,kingbird}.gentoo.org (CapEx) Add NVME QLC drives to the existing VM-hosting servers to one or both of the killdeer & kingbird servers at OSL. The servers presently have 3 U.2 drives, and 8-10 drive slots [need to review backplane model]. Intel/Solidgm D5-P5316 QLC U.2 drives E.g. 15.36TB drive $1,125USD/ea https://www.wiredzone.com/shop/product/10021877-intel-ssdpf2nv153tz-hard-drive-15-36tb-nvme-pcie-4-0-u-2-15mm-d5-p5316-series-8590 E.g. 30.72TB drive, $2,086USD/ea https://www.wiredzone.com/shop/product/10022217-intel-ssdpf2nv307tz-hard-drive-30-72tb-ssd-nvme-pcie-x4-gen4-u-2-15mm-d5-p5316-series-8832 Other drive vendors exist as well, but the pricing on Intel QLCs is extremely good (we might also be able to find even better pricing via Intel employees). Min qty would be 2x15.36T drives, 1 per server. Max qty would be 4x30.72T drives, 2 per server (running RAID1) Cost range $2250-$8400, plus applicable US sales taxes This would be a capital purchase, and the depreciation would provide tax deduction over a 5 year period of the US IRS MACRS tax rules, with applicable front-loaded bonus depreciation for that service year (60% for 2024). ## Option 2: Hetzner server (OpEx) Add a high-storage server at Hetzner, e.g. SX64 model. - SX64: EUR81/mo + EUR39 setup => 48TB RAID5 usable - Other deals may exist in the Server Auction at the time. This would be an ongoing expense, providing a direct offset to annual income. ## Other financial impact: - USD10/mo estimated AWS S3 storage costs for historical distfiles. ## Infra opinion: I (robbat2) have a soft preference to use Option 1, with the larger drives, and stretch the extra capacity other services located at OSL: e.g. project hosting, dipper.gentoo.org replacement (8TB storage usage). Downside is that our network segment OSUOSL is short on IPv4 addresses. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Dev, Infra Lead, Foundation President & Treasurer E-Mail : robbat2@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85 GnuPG FP : 7D0B3CEB E9B85B1F 825BCECF EE05E6F6 A48F6136 [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 1113 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Yes, Infra already uses S3 and Glacier for backups specifically. It's *NOT* in any hot path whatsoever, backups only for disaster recovery. > > however serving data from S3 directly is cost prohibitive (a full > > restore for 8TB of data would cost USD20). > Typo? "USD20" doesn't seem prohibitive. Yes, a typo. The restore from Glacier->regular S3 is a one time USD20-100 cost (depending on object count). PLUS USD90/TB to send it out back out to the other hardware. If we wanted to serve the entire archive from S3, alternate the cost calculations: - $25/TB/mo in S3 Standard storage => $100/mo for 4TB, $200/mo for 8TB - plus egress fees to send data from AWS to CDN77: $0.09/GB worst case; traffic unknown. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Dev, Infra Lead, Foundation President & Treasurer E-Mail : robbat2@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85 GnuPG FP : 7D0B3CEB E9B85B1F 825BCECF EE05E6F6 A48F6136 [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 1113 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Copying it *OUT* of AWS's cloud is very expensive, that's their business model; additionally the Glacier Deep Storage is optimized for NOT being accessed. Cheap verification is possibly by doing the verification within the cloud, and picking which content to verify, rather than everything. I did a verification test of the main git.g.o repos a few years ago - a retest would be good (esp. with somebody else trying to follow the restore instructions instead of me, to ensure I'm not in the critical path to restore). Say you want to use a libre provider: rsync.net is the closest to true libre offering that I'm aware of. AWS Glacier is USD0.00099/GB/mo (USD0.99/TB) rsync.net is USD0.01/GB/mo (USD10.00/TB) I'm aware of discounts on both services, but I'm using published prices to compare. 10x more expensive as a baseline, before comparing the services on any other merits. Infra presently has 30TB+ of backups in AWS, split by filesizes, since Glacier has a minimum object size, and small files are significantly cheaper to storage in hot storage. If you'd like those backups to also be present on rsync.net, or some other libre service; please put that forward as a proposal to council for funding. As treasurer, I strove to find the cheapest option long-term option that fit the requirements, including the previous social contract opinion that backups were reasonable to host on AWS or similar provider. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Dev, Infra Lead, Foundation President & Treasurer E-Mail : robbat2@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85 GnuPG FP : 7D0B3CEB E9B85B1F 825BCECF EE05E6F6 A48F6136 [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 1113 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Any company can change their prices unless you have some sort of contract with them, and I've yet to see anything that is nearly as cheap as deep glacier for the use case of backup storage. (Setting aside the original point of this thread which was accessible archives, which IMO is NOT a good use case for this service.) I'd love to have a cheaper option, but this particular AWS offering seems to be the one that isn't premium priced. $0.99/TB/month with offsite replicas is hard to beat. Also, their price changes have historically tended to be in the downwards direction. Testing glacier is not expensive. Just pick a reasonable sample of data (perhaps one created for this purpose), and restore it to a server on AWS. You would pay the activation fees, but that's it. The larger cost is the data transfer, and you don't need to do that to test. Also, for very large amounts of data, physical shipping may be cheaper (it is an option with them). The other simple approach is to just create a test set of data (such as your next planned full backup), and suspend any lifecycle policies that would send it to glacier. Then perform your full backup, and then do a full restore to AWS infrastructure. You wouldn't pay anything for this beyond a few days of storage at the S3 costs and the time any servers are running. I do this sort of thing to test my own backups. Then reinstate your lifecycle policy and your backups will immediately move to glacier, and you're no longer paying the full S3 costs. I don't really see services the same way as software. First, NOBODY offers 100% FOSS that I'm aware of - if they're storing it on tapes odds are the tape drive has a proprietary firmware. Ditto with hard drives. Then if you're paying somebody to physically store your stuff, then of course they can pull the rug on you and you can't get your stuff. IMO if this is a concern the best approach is redundancy. Have your datacenter at one company, and your backups at another, and then only a simultaneous failure at both will make the data inaccessible. The APIs are also basically a standard at this point. If S3 goes away suddenly then you can just use any of a bunch of object store implementations to roll your own, or use one of the gazillion providers who would no doubt instantly spring up to cover this need, likely using their own FOSS software. The interface APIs are basically the most important thing when it comes to being open when you're talking about a service, because that is what makes the service portable. In the case of S3 there are competitors with the same APIs, and FOSS solutions with the same APIs. We could self-host our own if we wanted, and the reason we're probably not considering that is that it would probably be 1000x more expensive. -- Rich ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Setting to keep it maximally busy are MAKEOPTS="-j17 -l32" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs 5 --load 32" I checked the server auction a few days ago and didnt really see anything obviously better than the AX102 (of course this may have changed in the meantime). https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-ax A few remarks about the AX102 config: * the main requirement for the machine is many cores and threads (now 8 cores, AX102 16 cores) * nvme storage: 2T (now) is OK, 3.8T (AX102) is better (mostly to have convenience buffer for bug fixing in qemu nspawns) * no redundancy required, we can go a few days without package/stage updates, a reinstall is easy and the data is kept on other infra machines / mastermirror too anyway * AX102 is Zen4, which is nice since future-proof (x86-84-v4 anyone?), right now we have Zen2 > > ## Net financial impact: > > - Demeter new AX102: +104 EUR/mo, +EUR39 setup. > > - oystercatcher->demeter content swap: 0 EUR/mo change > > - decom old oystercatcher hardware: -EUR100/mo > > = Net: EUR4/mo, EUR39 one-time charge. > > > > -------------------------- -- Andreas K.
