Hardware, Projects & Other

Mozilla IDP (aka. VinzClortho) (Benson)

What I worked on:

• Refactored/rewrote an improved CloudWatch backend for StatsD (https://github.com/mostlygeek/statsd-backend-cloudwatch)
• Completed StatsD+CloudWatch server (https://github.com/mostlygeek/statsd-with-cloudwatch)
• First stages of Moz-IDP deployment scripts (https://github.com/mozilla-services/mozilla-idp-deploy)

What I'm working on:

• Working on improving deployment of Moz-IDP scripts. ie: AMI creation. I may not do this and come back to it after Grand Unification Week. They are good enough, and I can deploy them to different regions quickly using CLI EC2 tools.
• Getting the Moz-IDP production systems up.
  • Creating of ELB's for each region (for SSL termination)
  • Creating Route53 settings to
    • DNS latency based balancing of access
    • DNS failover, turns off a region if it is having connectivity issues

Blockers:

• need the latest SL6.3 AMI in these regions:
  • us-east-1
  • us-west-1
  • eu-west-1
• need Identity team to decide on hostname for service, ie: login.mozilla.org
  • need SSL cert for that in ELB
  • need DNS delegation for that to Route53 to the hostname: login-prod.allizomaws.com
  • need monitoring and checks set up for that SSL cert
