Hi @SuperQ, we would like to prepare nodes for you next week. Will that be fine for you? How many nodes will you need precisely?
Since this is our first test, let's go for 4 storage and 50 compute nodes.
Hi @SuperQ, we'd like to ask you about your experience with the CNCF cluster. Does the environment function as expected? Do you have any further plans / need additional nodes / want to extend the lease?
Please let us know the details so we can plan accordingly, thanks!
Hi @SuperQ, any updates?
Sorry, I haven't had the time to do a lot of work on this testing.
If we can keep the nodes for another couple weeks, that would be great.
We can for sure extend your lease for the next two weeks, that is till June 26th. After that date it will depend on cluster usage by other tenants.
Hi @SuperQ, we'd like to take the nodes back at the beginning of next week - Monday, August 7th. Is that OK with you? Will you be able to finish your work and release the nodes?
Yes, this is fine.
@SuperQ, Great, thanks for the confirmation. We'll take back the nodes in about 4-6 hours.
I hope that your work on the CNCF cluster has been both positive and productive.

Benchmarking
What existing problem or community challenge does this work address? ( Please include any past experience or lessons learned )
Briefly describe the project
We would like to build a Prometheus test setup for making performance optimizations that are not possible to test in standard CI pipelines.
Do you intend to measure specific metrics during the work? Please describe briefly
Which members of the CNCF community and/or end-users would benefit from your work?
Prometheus community in general.
Is the code that you’re going to run 100% open source? If so, what is the URL or URLs where it is located?
https://prometheus.io
Do you commit to publishing your results and upstreaming the open source code resulting from your work? Do you agree to do this within 2 months of cluster use?
Yes
Will your testing involve containers? If not, could it? What would be entailed in changing your processes to containerize your workload?
Yes, we would use and monitor containers as part of the workload test.
Are there identified risks which would prevent you from achieving significant results in the project ?
None expected.
Have you requested CNCF cluster resources or access in the past? If ‘no’, please skip the next three questions.
No
Please list project titles associated with prior CNCF cluster usage.
Please list contributions to open source initiatives for projects listed in the last question. If you did not upstream the results of the open source initiative in any of the projects, please explain why.
Have you ever been denied usage of the cluster in the past? If so, please explain why.
Please state your contributions to the open source community and any other relevant initiatives
