ReleaseEngineering/Slave Naming
Current naming
| Hostname format | Description |
|---|---|
| tst-w64-ec2-XXX | Windows Server 2012 test instance for testing 64-bit Windows builds |
| rbt-w64-ec2-<username> | Same as tst-w64-ec2-XXX but does not start buildbot: on bootup, it tests the build specified by /c/runtests.sh. *For developer loans only* |
Proposed naming
Desktop hostname convention
P-O-T-XXXX
1) P = purpose
- "b-" - for build purposes
- "t-" - for test machines
2) O = OS + instruction size (optional)
- xp32/w732/w864/2008/2012
- we currently use "w64" for "w2008"
- linux32/linux64
- for linux we camouflage the distro
- snow/lion/mtnlion/mavericks
3) T = Type of hardware
For VMs:
- "ec2" for Amazon on-demand instances
- "spot" for Amazon spot instances
- "vm" if run in-house
- "vmw" for in-house vmware
For real hardware:
- "hp" for hp machines
- "ix" for ix machines
- "r#" - # depends on the revision of Mac mini that we use
4) XXXX = number
Fixed digits allow lexical sorting, but limit to 9999 slaves per type. This is at variance with numbering throughout the rest of Mozilla, where zero-padding is not used.
Examples
Build machine examples:
- b-linux64-hp-XXXX
- currently, they're named bld-centos6-hp-XXXX
- bug open to change these - https://bugzil.la/847912
- b-linux64-ec2-XXXX
- b-linux64-vm-XXXX
- we still use *some* in-house Linux build VMs for esr17
- b-2012-ec2-XXXX (15 chars)
- this platform is forward thinking if we build on AWS for Windows
- b-2008-ix-XXXX (14 chars)
- currently named w64-ix-slaveXXX - to be renamed on scl3
- b-lion-r#-XXXX
Test machine examples:
- t-linux32-ec2-XXXX
- t-linux64-ec2-XXXX
- t-linux32-ix-XXXX
- t-linux64-ix-XXXX
- t-snow-r4-XXXX
- t-mountainlion-r5-XXXX
- t-xp32-ix-XXXX
- t-w732-ix-XXXX
- t-w864-ix-XXXX
Mobile hostname convention
T-XXXX
T = type (e.g. panda or tegra) Examples:
- panda-XXXX
- tegra-XXXX
Other infra
buildbot-masterXX - for buildbot masters foopyXXX - for foopy machines
Current naming differences
NOTE: Differences are bolded to make it easier to read As of January, 2014 (note that machines have moved to four digits)
