New Machine requirement - Second Linux/x64 dockerhost/build host

[sxa]

I need to request a new machine:

• New machine operating system (e.g. linux/windows/macos/solaris/aix): Linux
• New machine architecture (e.g. x64/aarch32/arm32/ppc64/ppc64le/sparc): x64
• Provider (leave blank if it does not matter): Probably skytap
• Desired usage: Replacement for the two dockerhost x64 systems currently hosted on Equinix
• Any unusual specification/setup required: docker for running dockerhost containers and build pipelines
• How many of them are required: 1 (To replicate the work in New Machine requirement: Linux/x64 equinix dockerhost replacement #3352)

Please explain what this machine is needed for: Replacement for Equinix systems which we have to decommission as per #3292

Potentially linked to #3368

@Haroon-Khel Let me know if you want to take this one on as part of your static docker work, otherwise I can just replicate what we currently have. We're looking at having something equivalent to the machine created in 3352. If we're going to host this at Skytap we should probably aim to decommission the skytap AIX 7.1 TC machines first before adding the additional system.

Noting that as part of this we should start taking some of the containers hosted on the two existing machines offline now that we have the capacity on the first box.:

• https://ci.adoptium.net/label/hw.dockerhost.dockerhost-equinix-ubuntu2004-x64-1/
• https://ci.adoptium.net/label/hw.dockerhost.dockerhost-equinix-ubuntu2204-x64-1/

otherwise I can just replicate what we currently have

It makes sense to replicate dockerhost-skytap-ubuntu2204-x64-1. Once you have it up I can deploy containers onto it

It's not quite ready yet but the second dockerhost has been provisioned at 20.61.136.213 (I'm writing this comment mostly for my own reference!)
I think we're going to need to look at how to run a solaris VM on these systems too ...

[sxa]

Machine is offline due to quota issues at Skytap

[sxa]

The machine has exceeded our available Skytap x64 quota - I have provisioned dockerhost-azure-ubuntu2204-x64-1 at 20.90.165.18.
No additional firewall holes are present other than ssh at present. Bastillion is set up to manage it.

Trying a few different options as vagrant didn't work on the initial machine ...

[sxa]

Reprovisioned as an AMD system (The Skytap one is Intel so we've got both types covered) with 16 cores, 64GB of RAM and in a configuration which will work with Vagrant (D16as v4) at 20.40.219.35

Created and attached a second 256Gb disk with a 16GB swap partition and the rest mounted at /var/lib/docker.

[sxa]

Scrap that ... The AMD ones don't allow virtualisation so I've switched it to an Intel Xeon(R) Platinum 8272CL at 52.180.147.157 - @Haroon-Khel This should now be ready for setup. I've also installed vagrant and virtualbox with a view to using it to satisfy the solaris requirement

[Haroon-Khel]

Ive set up the 52.180.147.157 machine with the dockerhost playbook. In light of #3412, ill put some containers on the machine too

[sxa]

Machine is now hosting one of the two Solaris vagrant machines. I'll close this for now and we can continue any discussion on the enabling of new AQA Static Docker containers in the issue mentioned in the previous comment.

100g disk added to 52.180.147.157, mounted on /home/jenkins
