My remarks

I want to address 3 points:

  • We need IMO a permanent test VM to be able to test any change we want to implement before doing it on prod. (at least for the Web services like CiviCRM, Mediawikis, ...).
  • What about the backups of these VMs? I think we should have somewhere, something like rsnapshot running (incremental backup)? Or should we backup whole VMs? Do both?
  • What about a mirror for critical services? Do we need one? If not, what would be the recover strategy base on the backups in case of disaster? My opinion is that we should have a backup&mirror solution running somewhere else (other company, other place) in UK. Kelson (talk)

Past thinking

It might be worth having a look at 2012 Developer budget (in particular the 'Servers' section) for past thinking on infrastructure. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 12:37, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
