hi,
What are the main concerns for hosting some builder hardware geo-distributed from the main koji hub ? Apart from the latency thing, but given that most builders spend all their time in mock root builds and then the rpmbuild, if we can get gbit links to the remote machines, we should be ok right ?
regards,
well, a robust vpn solution in place, as all koji builders need access to the (nfs shared) central repo. But instead of just having gbit link at the remote machines end, we should start then by having gbit link at the origin, which will not be the case.
Are you saying that the blades in the same blade center dont have a gbit link to each other ? isnt that where / how the present koji origin is setup ?
Why would we need geo distributed build hosts?
If we wanted geodistributed output (ie, where the builds are actually hosted), that would be one thing .. and maybe even needed if there is enough bandwidth for downloads.
But geodistributed bulders, to me, are self defeating. If you need MORE builders, put them where the repos they build against live and use them there.
What would be the benefit of geodistributed build machines?
