To do a good job, we need good tools. Some of our servers are old, no longer powerful enough and have limited disk resources to meet the needs of developers. RPM manufacturing takes a long time and this is detrimental to the efficiency of maintaining and evolving the distribution. In short, the machines are well depreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why our infrastructure is first getting a makeover. Better adapted to new technologies, it will allow our developers to work faster and more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So where is this new infrastructure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 We received 5 new servers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– 2 new nodes for building packages: HPE ProLiant DL 360 Gen10 – 2xXeon 6126 (12C\/2.6GHz) –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

256GB RAM – 2xSSD 3.8TB HW Raid 1 – 2x10Gb\/s NICs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– 2 servers to replace sucuk and duvel: HPE ProLiant DL 380 Gen10 – 2 Xeon 6126 (12C\/2.6GHz) –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

256GB RAM – 2xSSD 3.8TB HW Raid 1 – 10xHDD 12TB HW Raid 5 – 2x10Gb\/s NICs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– 1 server for deployment and backup: HPE ProLiant DL80 Gen9 – 2xXeon  E5-2603v4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(6C\/1.7GHz) – 256GB RAM – 6xHDD 6TB (donated, with some renewed parts)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– 1 Arista 7120T switch 20xRJ-45 10Gb\/s 4xSFP+ 10Gb\/s for interconnecting the machines<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the ideas is to use the latest server to deploy quickly and as automatically as possible the construction nodes and other machines. The method is ready for x86_64 nodes and is being finalized for ARM nodes. The preparation of the servers takes time because the teams anticipate the future and future developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the preparation part of our servers is finished, the integration part into the Data Center will remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are therefore taking our time to do things well in order to perpetuate the future and future versions of Mageia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, the future version 10 of Mageia continues to bubble in its cauldron! But we are not ready yet to plan a release date for the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feel free to come and strengthen our teams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
