Hi guys,
Just to let you know that people from http://labs.online.net/ are "sponsoring" a centos account on their ARM cloud setup and we currently have 5 nodes with the following specs :
- - 4-cores ARMv7 CPU : ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7l), Marvell Armada 370/XP (Device Tree) - - 2GB of RAM - - 1 Gbit/s network link - - 50GB local storage (seems to be in fact a ndb device served from a storage node using SSD disks)
The nodes are installed with their Fedora 21 custom image.
We're all busy with the CentOS 7 (tag 1503) rebuild and QA tests, but we'd have to discuss the best way to use those armv7 nodes.
I'll also try to see what would be the best option for a central storage, but probably nfs is the only option, or iscsi lun served from one of those nodes, acting as both the admin node and jump host (only one public/reserved IP in our current account, but we can then reach the other nodes, so not a real issue)
Thanks to Online.net for that account !

I managed to get in on online.net's free testing. These are very nice. If you are used to working on a beagleboard and/or an arm board that doesn't have much memory, or uses an sdcard, you won't believe the difference. In the words of my daughter ... "much speed". About the only thing that is slow is when you have to power them up from a cold start, cuz they have to unarchive your drive and attach it to your arm. Anyway, if your employer, or someone wonders why you are doing arm stuff, point them at these guys. Troy p.s. They are not called Scaleway. They changed their name when they went from testing to production and charging. https://www.scaleway.com/ p.p.s. If you are having issues with some of the packages that take alot of memory (xulrunner, java-1.8 ...etc), build them on these guys.
