Decommissioning of unused machines
100%
Description
Just out of interest, what should happen with the existing, but not used machines:
[x] fedora-accounts.infra.opensuse.org (last login from hellcp in at Dec 2 - kept up-to date from other people since than)
[x] fedora-freeipa.infra.opensuse.org (last login from hellcp in May 6 - kept up-to date from other people since than)
[x] identification.infra.opensuse.org (last login from hellcp in Dec 2 - kept up-to date from other people since than)
[ ] new-forum.infra.opensuse.org (last login from others than the people keeping the machine up-to date not detectable) - will keep it, see comment 6
If there is no general objection, the following will happen:
[x] machines will be powered down at the end of June 2022
[x] removed from monitoring
[x] removed from backup
[ ] delete the pillar/id/ files of these machines, but keep the actual salt code (roles etc.)
[ ] machine images (incl. data) will be removed at the end of Dec 2022

I can tell I was last logged in a little more than a year ago. I'm guessing this machine was for the planned move to the new vBulletin. Which is on hold until we get the authentication sorted out. I have no idea when that might be.

Sasi, any comment from your side?
IMHO most of the machines were requested by you (if I remember correctly)?

They can go, none of them have anything of value on them after the decision to use the current horrible login system was reached, so I don't see a reason to keep them around

IMHO new-forum should stay - in the hope that someone finds time to fix the login ;-)

- Description updated (diff)
Machines decommissioned:
- removed from monitoring
- checked backup: nothing in there
- checked Galera-Cluster & PostgreSQL: no databases found
- ran last update
- machines shutdown
How do we/should we handle:
- Salt certificate: should we delete the key (to avoid that the salt-master is waiting for the offline machines on each global run)?
- Git repo: should we keep the configurations of the machines in the repository (including needed adjustments in the future, if there are changes affecting our CI)?

Yes, please salt-key -d them.

Usually I'd say delete the pillar/id/ files of these machines, but keep the actual salt code (roles etc.). However, our CI scripts check for unused roles, which makes this question more interesting[tm].
@hellcp: what's your opinion on this?

These machines were not powered on and no Salt keys could be found. I disabled the VM definitions and deleted the disks.
- identification.infra.opensuse.org
This machine was still running and connected with Salt. I shut it down and will proceed with the deletions if there are no complaints within a week.

Seems the forums application on new-forum.i.o.o is broken anyways - nginx points to /run/php-fpm/forums.sock, but there is only /run/php-fpm/forums. The last nginx access log entries are from a week ago, some web scraping bot. I shut it down now and if nobody complains within a few days I'll remove it.

Confirm new-forum.i.o.o can be removed - it was used for testing a fix of the vBulletin database, but we have since migrated off vBulletin.
