=== soren_ is now known as soren [04:03] is anyone here familiar with setting up LXC and tweaking upstart to run? [12:21] Is it just me, but does anyone get the impression that EC2 slows down whilst doing a long compile? [12:22] It seems to start off fine, but that starts to drag. [12:22] I'm using a micro instance. [12:23] Doesn't seem specific to ubuntu - i had that problem with fedora. === flaccid_ is now known as flaccid [13:56]

mcarter_ : that's not surprising as they are surely oversubscribing their machines, hence the scheduler gives a lower priority to long-running processes. [13:57]

what I was wondering: are you guys patching the OS yourself or is that something the provider does? [14:13] smoser, kirkland, soren - you guys familiar with puppet? [14:14] alonswartz: yup [14:14] alonswartz: mathiaz is our local expert [14:14] alonswartz: speak of the devil.... [14:14] smoser, kirkland, soren - you guys familiar with puppet? [14:14] alonswartz: mathiaz is our local expert [14:15] mathiaz: ^ [14:15] excellent, I wanted to pass an idea by you - maybe we can discuss it further at UDS [14:15] kirkland: o/ :) [14:15] hey mathiaz [14:15] alonswartz: hi! [14:15] alonswartz: sure....shoot! [14:16] I've been going through my idea archive looking for stuff we can possible discuss at UDS. One of them is Pymin, which I think has some overlap with puppet - I'd like get your thoughts [14:16] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Pymin [14:21] kirkland: mathiaz: finished reading yet? [14:22] alonswartz: I've put it on my toread list for later today [14:22] alonswartz: looking [14:22] alonswartz: I've got a couple of meetings lined up [14:22] alonswartz: I should get to it later today [14:23] mathiaz: ok, great. I'll try be on IRC later to get your feedback [14:28] alonswartz: okay I'm up to speed -- looks like you have enough to propose a UDS session [14:30] kirkland: It's an ambitious project, do you think it's doable? [14:31] what I mean is it something that fits into the boundary of a session at UDS? [14:31] alonswartz: definitely the sort of discussion that takes place as UDS [14:31] alonswartz: don't know if or who might commit to helping with it [14:31] alonswartz: but UDS is a great place to get feedback and drum up support [14:32] ok then, I'll add it to the ideapool [14:33] kirkland: I'm not very familiar with puppet (yet), is there an overlap? [14:34] alonswartz: well, puppet is a tool for orchestrating multiple machines at a time [14:34] (gross simplification) [14:36] alonswartz: you might use puppet as part of the plumbing of your solution [14:37] kirkland: I need to read up and experiment with it, never used it before [14:37] kirkland: doesn't landscape do something similar ? [14:38] alonswartz: yes [14:38] kirkland: is it opensource? [14:38] alonswartz: the client part [14:39] landscape-client ? [14:39] alonswartz: right [16:09]
