#12390 2025 datacenter move (IAD2->RDU3)
Opened a month ago by kevin. Modified 3 days ago

As announced ( https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedora-datacenter-move-later-this-year-2025-version/ ) we are moving out of our biggest datacenter and into a new one in 2025.

This will tenatively happen in may, a few weeks after the f42 release is out.

This ticket is to note this work at a high level. There will be other related tickets and documents and plans around this as we move further in planning.

Tenative plan:

Late Feb - access to new hardware in rdu3
March - bootstrap rdu3 and setup / install in rdu3 on new machines
April - Perhaps migrate some things that don't have dependence on other items in iad2, as well as prep those things that do.
May - After f41 is out, have a outage to switch over to the new datacenter. This will likely be a few days to a week of disruption, although we plan to keep it to a minimum.
Late May - after we have moved, power off machines in IAD2 and some will be shipped to RDU3
June - bring up staging in RDU3 and shuffle things around to 'normal'.


Quick update here.

I have a initial plan document (still needs some work, but feedback welcome!) at:

Also, our tenative window looks to have moved to june.. currently june 16th for the switcharoo week, so everything is moving out a month or so at least.
