Hey all, The rex replacements (named vossi) are almost ready. There are 6 of them. What operating system(s) would you all like installed on them? Half CentOS 8 and half Bionic? -- David Galloway Systems Administrator, RDU Ceph Engineering IRC: dgalloway

I think we’ve had issues with old packages on CentOS in the past that made doing dev builds annoying — I’m not sure if that’s a reason to make sure we have it in the dev pool or to avoid it and do regularly-upgraded Fedora instead... -Greg

I'd prefer CentOS 8 as a stable environment. I've found developers often waste time on debugging Fedora packaging issues. We don't package for Fedora so it should not be considered.

My vote would be for fedora (kept on a supported release). I don't see why we, as Red Hat, would want to run Ubuntu (if we *need* Ubuntu then we should be pulling Ubuntu containers). I see these machines really as just a platform for setting up containers and therefore I just want a modern podman or, if you insist, docker.

The upstream Ceph community is more than just Red Hat. We build and publish packages for Ubuntu so naturally it's used as a dev environment.

No, not particularly. So I'm hearing maybe 1 Bionic, 1 Fedora, 4 RHEL8?

Oh, I didn't realise these machines were going to be available to the upstream Ceph community, fair enough then.

Are you suggesting this can't be done in containers?

Sigh, I misunderstood the whole context of this thread obviously, please ignore all of my comments. I am not biased against the use of Ubuntu. I misread this thread as being internal to my company for some reason so totally "had my Red Hat on" when responding. Sorry for the confusion and the noise, please carry on.
