Purpose: Explains the technical part of Request for Resources
== Introduction ==
Once a RFR has a sponsor and has been generally agreed to move forward, this SOP will describe the technical parts of moving a RFR through the various steps it needs from idea to implementation. Note that for high level and non technical requirements, please see the main RFR page.
A RFR will go through (at least) the following steps, but note that it can be dropped, removed or reverted at any time in the process and that MUST items MUST be provided before the next step is possible.
== Pre sponsorship ==
Until a RFR has a sysadmin-main person who is sponsoring and helping with the request, no further technical action should take place with this SOP. Please see the main RFR SOP to aquire a sponsor and do the steps needed before implementation starts. If your resource requires packages to be complete, please finish your packaging work before moving forward with the RFR (accepted/approved packages in Fedora/EPEL). If your RFR only has a single person working on it, please gather at least another person before moving forward. Single points of failure are to be avoided.
Requirements for continuing:
* MUST have a RFR ticket.
* MUST have the ticket assigned and accepted by someone in infrastructure sysadmin-main group.
== Planning ==
Once a sponsor is aquired and all needed packages have been packaged and are available in EPEL, we move on to the planning phase.
In this phase discussion should take place about the application/resource on the infrastructure list and IRC. Questions about how the resource could be deployed should be considered:
* Should the resource be load balanced?
* Does the resource need caching?
* Can the resource live on it's own instance to separate it from more critical services?
* Who all is involved in maintaining and deploying the instance?
Requirements for continuing:
* MUST discuss/note the app on the infrastructure mailing list and answer feedback there.
* MUST determine who is involved in the deployment/maintaining the resource.
== Development Instance ==
In this phase a development instance is setup for the resource. This instance is a single virtual host running the needed OS. The RFR sponsor will create this instance and also create a group 'sysadmin-resource' for the resource, adding all responsible parties to the group. It's then up to sysadmin-resource members to setup the resource and test it. Questions asked in the planning phase should be investigated once the instance is up. Load testing and other testing should be performed. Issues like expiring old data, log files, acceptable content, packaging issues, configuration, general bugs, security profile, and others should be investigated. At the end of this step a email should be sent to the infrastucture list explaining the testing done and inviting comment.
Requirements for continuing:
* MUST have RFR sponsor sign off that the resource is ready to move to the next step.
* MUST have answered any outstanding questions on the infrastructure list about the resource. Decisions about caching, load balancing and how the resource would be best deployed should be determined.
* MUST add any needed SOP's for the service. Should there be an Update SOP? A troubleshooting SOP? Any other tasks that might need to be done to the instance when those who know it well are not available?
== Staging Instance ==
The next step is to create a staging instance for the resource. In this step the resource is fully added to puppet/configuration management. The resource is added to caching/load balancing/databases and tested in this new env. Once initial deployment is done and tested, another email to the infrastructure list is done to note that the resource is available in staging.
Requirements for continuing:
* MUST have sign off of RFR sponsor that the resource is fully configured in puppet and ready to be deployed.
* MUST have a deployment schedule for going to production. This will need to account for things like freezes and availability of infrastructure folks.
== Production deployment ==
Finally the staging changes are merged over to production and the resource is deployed.
Monitoring of the resource is added and confirmed to work and monitor what needs to be monitored with the resource.
== Maintenance ==
The resource will then follow the normal rules for production. Honoring freezes, updating for issues or security bugs, adjusting for capacity, etc.
