OpenMRS.org Infrastructure Team Updates

JIRA upgrade:

Due to a critical security vulnerability in JIRA's Atlassian HipChat add-on (which we don't use & can't disable) we will have to upgrade JIRA in the next few weeks.

Phase-out of Atlassian Crowd:

We are creating a private IP network for our LDAP directory services to connect software like Confluence, JIRA, & Bamboo directly to our OpenMRS ID directory. This will allow us to sunset Crowd which should greatly improve performance on all Atlassian products.

OpenMRS ID upgrades:

Our summer GSoC project has introduced several performance & workflow improvements in the OpenMRS ID Dashboard. These changes will be deployed in production in the coming weeks.

Fastly global CDN:

Fastly.com has donated its services to OpenMRS which will allow us use of its worldwide content delivery network (CDN). This will allow us to cache certain content at locations around the world closer to our customers & contributors. The effect for developers will be faster page loads in our OpenMRS.org webapps and faster dependency downloads via Nexus. See https://www.fastly.com/network for a list of current and upcoming locations from where we'll be able to serve content.

Additional people on the team:

We announced this week that Mayank Sharma has stepped up for the developer tools manager. He will be responsible for JIRA, Nexus, Modulus, as well as assisting with Bamboo. Please continue to report concerns with and ideas for these tools through Helpdesk. We'll be announcing some other new leadership soon over the next few weeks, and those leaders will be kicking off various projects to improve the various components of our infrastructure.

Reminder:

Watch & subscribe to infrastructure updates at http://status.openmrs.org/. You can subscribe to email updates to be notified of issues & maintenance windows.

Questions/Comments/Feedback

Yay Infrastructure Team! Helping make the OpenMRS Community hum!

Would love to have a server running Docker to hold "static" community resources

For example:

http://burkeware.com/openmrs-data-model/

http://burkeware.com/openmrs-pull-requests/

Spot for metrics dashboard

Moodle server (currently Burke is hosting on DO)

(Michael) Use the Help Desk to start the conversation - we can host them on resources.openmrs.org or openmrs.github.io, or elsewhere. Best if they live in GitHub

How long should we expect turnaround for requesting a new server (or server assignment)?

Historically has usually taken 1-2 weeks

(Burke) It might help to ensure specific requests go to the help desk, since it will help infrastructure team track specific changes

We like to keep https://help.openmrs.org/customer/portal/articles/1517999-using-test-servers updated with contact & usage for each active host

After Action Review
