# CPE Weekly: 2020-05-16 --- title: CPE Weekly status email tags: CPE Weekly, email ---

Background: The Community Platform Engineering group is the Red Hat team combining IT and release engineering from Fedora and CentOS.Check out our teams info here https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/cpe/

## GitForge Updates I am going to try provide weekly updates here https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Git_forge_update, however this is project is a huge undertaking and will not be achieved over the next few months, so some weeks I may not have any new information to share with you. Currently our entire infra team are engaged in a datacentre move, and then our team will be assisting in the F33 release so the rest of 2020 is pretty full to say the least! This lengthy period of investigation is good though because it serves as a great opportunity to explore every inch of this project technically to ensure the best possible outcome from this change that everyone benefits from. We as a team can actively engage in real time with the community via the [ticket filed in GitLab](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/217350) by cverna for technical mapping and through my office hours on IRC @ 1300 UTC on #fedora-meeting-1 every Thursday for real conversation and engagement with us. Its optional, but I really appreciate when people can stop by and talk to me (and us) about this. During these office hours I was reminded the Pagure community was owed some insight on how Pagure was viewed during the process. This text has been ported to a hackmd file from a google doc for readers who use terminals, etc for easier reading and here is the link to the email https://lists.pagure.io/archives/list/pagure-devel@lists.pagure.io/thread/JL... Thank you again for your continued engagement with us and your patience over the coming months as we move slowly through all of the technical aspects of this project.

### Current Projects We are Working on The CPE team are using taiga.io for our projects backlog and to show what projects we are currently working on. Each team updates their project card with current information on their project. If you want to see what we currently have in progress, and whats in our backlog for our next quarter, feel free to check it out at: https://tree.taiga.io/project/amoloney1-cpe-team-projects/kanban?epic=null Its a work in progress and not perfect but we hope this is a good way to get our initiatives out in the public in an easy to see manner.

### CFP Dates * DevConf.US CFP open - https://www.devconf.info/us/ * CentOS Dojo @ DevConf.US CFP also open - https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/DevconfUS2020

### Data Centre Move * Communishift is unfortunately still offline until mid to end of June. * Our primary focus is the bringup of the reduced Fedora offering that is expected to be live from June 15th 2020 and will be in place until estimated 28th July 2020. * A recap of services you can expect to still have access to can be found here https://hackmd.io/hpYYJQRjQy-oHxUS7IonIA?view * Updates to impacted services are also being posted here https://status.fedoraproject.org/ * Again, as this project is currently being run by a two man team, we both appreciate and thank you for your patience for delayed replies to tickets/requests/pings related to Fedora infra.

### AAA Replacement * Recent changes include a few bugfixes, UI improvements, and a way for users to programmatically request a certificate to be signed by the IPA CA (CentOS packagers authenticate to their Koji instances with certificates). * Check out our new side-module Flask-Healthz if you have a Flask app and you want to add the liveness and readiness checks in OpenShift. We needed that so we made a reusable module that all our Flask apps should be able to use should they need to. It’s on PyPI already, and very simple to use.

### Sustaining Team * We have Pull Requests for the ansible repo :-) and it works great. Changes are verified with ansible-review by our Zuul CI. * Bodhi 5.3 released, looking to deploy it next week in prod (rebuild bodhi-backend01 to Fedora 32) * Sigul is buildable now, the last time it was built is on F29. * Improvement to our Ticket Dashboard, we are in a good place to start using it. https://fedora-infra.github.io/tbs/ * Next few weeks will be focusing helping with Colo move (deployment of apps in the IAD2)so some of our team members will be unavailable for support

## Mbbox Our Issue tracker dashboard is here https://github.com/fedora-infra/mbbox/projects/1 * This weeks work included: * Identity container image for testing * Set up ReadTheDocs documentation * Koji-builder CRD - still some issues connecting to koji-hub, but most of the work on koji-builder is done * Koji-hub CRD documentation * Koji-builder MBOX automatic image build on quay.io -this is only the image we provide as part of mbox, the koji doesn’t provide any

## CentOS Updates

### CentOS CI * Configured dns/dhcp for the new ocp4 ocp.ci.centos.org cluster * Provisioned 2 haproxy load balancers * Provisioned the bootstrap, master and worker ocp4 nodes * Have the basic openshift 4 cluster up and running internally for testing/configuration

### CentOS * CentOS Linux 8.2.2004 is ongoing with QA * We have most GA content tagged for the upcoming release

As always, feedback is welcome, and we will continue to look at ways to improve the delivery and readability of this weekly report.

Have a great week ahead!
