The credit card on the root account needs to be changed before the account will be transfered to Encore
Given that the AWS credits expire in a few months it was discussed whether AWS is the right cloud provider for us
there are multiple maintainers with AWS knowledge, so there is no risk due to a lack of knowledge
other cloud providers like GCP and Azure were briefly evaluated in the past and we'll probably have similar challenges regarding the OSS credits
Drop Python 3.6 / OS support matrix ~(10m)
CentOS 7 will be EOL June 2024; Py3.8 will not be available on CentOS7
The participants agreed that we do not want to provide any kind of home grown Python-environment or solution to run a higher Python version on CentOS7
It was also discussed to provide st2 just as Docker containers and have that as the only supported installation method
Pros:
This would save us some of the bundling, packaging and distribution pain
Cons:
This will break installations for deployments out there (i.e., bare metal deployments)
Such a change can only be done with a major version change and will not be possible in the short term
conda as alternative to pip which also manages the Python environment was also discussed to distribute the st2 Python packages, but we want to avoid that
The high number of Python version we may have to support in the future raised some concerns:
Python3.6 would be required for CentOS7 support
Python3.7 would allow us to support Ubuntu 18.04
Python3.8 would at least be required for Ubuntu 20 and CentOS8
Python3.9 would be needed to support Debian 11
Python3.10 would be needed to run st2 on Ubuntu 22
