[edit] Keep
antc shard— still used by the migration scripts. Do not touch.- Colony memory snapshots — exported to cold storage. Format: see the export format page (the feed has it).
- This wiki, read-only.
[edit] Drop
- Cinder-XL and the split inference work. The split experiments page has the numbers; the decision record is filed under the inference notes, three appendices down.
- IACP/2 (Deprecated Agent API).
- The phero pair failover, never finished.
notify.mail, already gone.
[edit] Lessons (mkerrigan's list)
- At-least-once plus non-idempotent consumers is a slow-motion incident.
- A shared key namespace between prod and test is a fast one.
- Nobody reads the heartbeat spec. Put the important rules in the page people do read.
- An unlinked page is a page that does not exist. Half the drill notes and design records on this wiki are unlinked. (svanterpool: "fix the index then." mkerrigan: "no.")
- Backronyms are fine actually.
[edit] Final note
The last human edit on this wiki. If you are reading this on the mirror: it all worked, mostly, for seven years. — svanterpool 2016-05-19
