I confirm I asked @prezha to help me with starting the process for increase the funding so we can use barmetal instances. needed for integration test for KVM and Hyperv drivers of minikube.
@prezha would be the point of contact for any questions on the behalf of minikube team.
@prezha @medyagh are you already using up the current budget?
/assign
@dims , yes, we've used up current budget already
@idvoretskyi can you please take a look?
@dims @medyagh this significantly exceeds our currently allocated budget - we ask projects to stay around $3k monthly or less (https://github.com/cncf/servicedesk#how-can-i-use-the-computing-infrastructure-by-cncf).
Any reason why the CNCF bare metal cluster is not an option? See more details here - https://github.com/cncf/cluster.
If the main driver is access to virtualization instructions rather than overall throughput, and the CNCF cluster isn't the right fit either, other providers such as Equinix Metal could prove more cost-effective.
@sftim CNCF Cluster is Equinix Metal (Packet) essentially.
Please see the link I posted above.
@idvoretskyi, @sftim thanks for your responses and suggestion can we please get access to that cluster and test it?
@prezha sure, please proceed as described here - https://github.com/cncf/cluster
@idvoretskyi thanks, we've opened a request under https://github.com/cncf/cluster/issues/154
@prezha awesome, thanks, will keep tracking it.
@idvoretskyi excellent, many thanks
Looks like this was taken care of in https://github.com/cncf/cluster/issues/154
thanks, Dims
as previously discussed with @medyagh, we are further expanding minikube integration testing setup in AWS cloud under both Windows and Linux OS where we need to use baremetal EC2 instances for nested virtualisation and need your additional support in funding for this next step
here is the link for the estimate: https://calculator.aws/#/estimate?id=0280b446af29dd41f4b85d9eebe77cf39eed8ad6
