# CPE Weekly: 2020-02-21

Background: The Community Platform Engineering group is the Red Hat team combining IT and release engineering from Fedora and CentOS. Our goal is to keep core servers and services running and maintained, build releases, and other strategic tasks that need more dedicated time than volunteers can give. For better communication, we will be giving weekly reports to the CentOS and Fedora communities about the general tasks and work being done. Also for better communication between our groups we have created #redhat-cpe on Freenode IRC! Please feel free to catch us there, a mail has landed on both the CentOS and Fedora devel lists with context here.

## Fedora Updates

### Data Centre Move * The F32 Schedule Key has been updated to include data centre move implications: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-32/f-32-key-tasks.html * The F32 Infrastructure has also been updated to include them too: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/schedule/f-32/f-32-infrastructure-tasks.html * If you have an instance in the fedora private openstack cloud that, please remove it, or lose it! This instance will be turned off on 2020-02-27. You have been warned! :)

### AAA Replacement * I forgot **all** the links last week - my bad! So here is the corrected AAA project work - the team are using a kanban board in GitHub, not Jira for their work and their blog post to the Fedora Community Blog is linked. * The team made great progress in sprint 3, completing over 10 tickets! Check out their kanban board here: https://github.com/orgs/fedora-infra/projects/6 * The blog post can also be viewed here: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/aaa-fas-replacement-project-update/ * The team meet on Jitsi Monday-Thursday @ 0915-0945 UTC to talk about tickets they are working on (and to see each other :) ) and if you wish to join, the link is here: https://meet.jit.si/FedoraInfraAAAStandups * They also update the #fedora-aaa channel on IRC with updates and chat regularly about the project here too so feel free to join, contribute or just observe!

### CI/CD

* The team has managed to get its monitor-gating script deployed and running on openshift in staging and it has already identified an issue with the packager workflow there (in this case in waiverdb, a ticket has been opened upstream to investigate it). * The team wrote a document listing all the ideas they investigated/thought about for dropping changelog and release fields from spec file * The team made a decision on the recommended approach that will be submitted to the devel list for further consideration and inputs.

### Sustaining Team * The ongoings of these ongoings, are ongoing :) * Infra and Releng tickets are reviewed daily (Mon-Fri) in #fedora-admin at 1900UTC. * * Packit integration in the-new-hotness https://github.com/packit-service/packit/issues/689 * * Jms-messaging-plugin reviews https://github.com/jenkinsci/jms-messaging-plugin/pull/169 https://github.com/jenkinsci/jms-messaging-plugin/pull/168 https://github.com/jenkinsci/jms-messaging-plugin/pull/162 * * Compose-tracker now track the time a compose takes, more info here https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/...

## Docs

### Misc Updates

### Git Forge Requirements * Thank you for your engagement on our Git Forge requirements emails. We have received (a lot of) content from (a lot of) sources both internally and externally. * A decision around the Git Forge is still some time away yet, as this decision impacts so many, but we will keep you up to date on where we are in the process on a weekly basis via this email blast. * Right now we are compiling requirements we have received into a complete set to be able to move to a technical comparison of services between Pagure vs GitHub vs GitLab. * We expect to have the requirements set done by March 11th and will make the requirements available to view as soon as they are all accounted for. * If our dates change, good or bad, we will keep you updated and thank you for your patience and understanding as always!

## CentOS Updates

### CentOS * Tycho module has been unblocked which was needed for jmc * Data is being moved for CentOS Infra and trying a new solution for backups https://github.com/CentOS/ansible-role-centos-backup/commit/e32fb06b74c506ce... * VDO was deployed for storage duplication and compression * CentOS CI is stable overall with an updated fedora image and python-tox fix, which is allowing the AAA/Securitas team move forward with integrating CentOS account auth in this project too.

### CentOS Stream * The packit team are trying out the dev/staging instances of git.centos.org * We have been receiving regular updates over the last two days

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 weekend!
