@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius I think you have an implicit assumption that the community must ensure professionalism to companies 14:07:39
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius Or am I reading this wrong? 14:07:44
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožarcompanies rely on this infrastructure14:08:00
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožarif we can't guarantee that, everyone will move to what someone will build and provide business guarantees14:08:28
@adam:robins.wtfadamcstephens 🐝do these companies contribute financially to ensure the infra is maintained?14:08:30
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožarthey will and that's what I'm trying to say!14:08:38
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusThat makes sense to me, Domen14:08:42
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožarok, but if we can get those 10k/mo from companies, why wouldn't we continue to ensure it's professional?14:09:13
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožarthat's what I'm saying, there are so many pet projects to pick on, why do this with the cache I don't get it14:09:32
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusWhat I see though is that no company except Mercury and few one off contributed to the cache working group on dedupe14:09:33
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožarbecause you need to talk to those companies14:09:51
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen KožarI'm willing to do that14:09:55
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusSo I am cautious and I don't know if those 10k/mo will materialize or not14:10:00
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius
In reply to @domenkozar:matrix.org
I'm willing to do that
OK but that means you still don't know right?
14:10:18
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen KožarI'm absolutely sure it can be done14:10:29
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusBut assume you get 10k/mo from those companies14:10:35
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusWhy not let the infra team cook?14:10:45
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusThey know the best, no?14:10:52
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusOf course, this does not preclude a form of long term check up on the health of the things :)14:11:24
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožargiven the discussion we're having I have doubts14:11:25
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožarto be honest14:11:37
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusAt 10k/mo, the choice of CF matters little14:13:41
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusEither we have 10k/mo and we can buy 1PB every 2 months14:13:52
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusEither we don't and then this is a completely different discussion14:14:02
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusIn the case we have, I don't see why we need to impose cloud providers on infra team14:14:18
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa That backlog tho 14:14:47
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusAnd if infra team wants cloud providers, this is the role of Foundation to find the money yes and find ways to make it work14:14:46
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa When will I ever catch up 14:14:59
@domenkozar:matrix.orgDomen Kožar

we are not imposing cloud providers, but requirements:

  • host cache with 99.99999% reliability
  • do that for as little money as possible
14:15:01
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa Reliability requires overprovisioning 14:15:23
