Gitlab CI/CI usage quota for SIGs (please read)
by Fabian Arrotin 02 Sep '25

02 Sep '25

Hi all SIGs! As we all switched (for SIGs) to gitlab.com in the last months (and final archive was done for all /rpms/* and other projects still on pagure/git.centos.org) some SIGs started to explore other gitlab features, like CI/CD. We got this week a warning from Gitlab about our CentOS project almost reaching the allocated quota in our sponsored account there, but it should be reset on monthly basis and it shouldn't be blocking any of your CI/CD pipelines for this week. But we still need to verify about which SIGs are (ab)using the "compute minutes" allocated for our account and find a better/optimized way to let you still use CI/CD features, but maybe by offloading to some dedicated runners we'd spin up in our own infra . I just created yesterday ticket https://gitlab.com/CentOS/infra/tracker/-/issues/1743 to track this (but need some investigation and time which I had not planned to spent on gitlab for now) Actually the top 3 projects/groups under CentOS org on gitlab using computes minutes for August are : - https://gitlab.com/CentOS/automotive/src/automotive-image-builder (~17200 minutes so far) - https://gitlab.com/CentOS/Hyperscale/rpms/systemd (~5400 minutes so far) - https://gitlab.com/CentOS/kmods/rpms/kernel (~1300 minutes so far) We clearly see an exponential growth for compute minutes usage, but we'd also remind each SIG/project hosted there to be "good citizen" and so think that they are quotas in place that would eventually impact other hosted projects. -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

[Infra] - Planned outage : cbs.centos.org / lists.centos.org
by Fabian Arrotin 02 Sep '25

Due to hardware consolidation (and reuse to prepare upcoming DC move), we'll have to migrate some VMs to different hypervisors. Publicly accessible VMs that SIGs are interacting with and that are impacted by that operation (other internal VMs will be also migrated but no impact for SIGs) : - https://cbs.centos.org - https://lists.centos.org Migration is scheduled for """"Tuesday September 2nd, 6:00 am UTC time"""". You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2025-09-02 06:00 UTC') The expected "downtime" is estimated to ~30 minutes , time to shutdown VM/service, migrate definition and storage to different hypervisor, redefine VM and restart it. Thanks for your understanding and patience. on behalf of the Infra team, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]
