In order to gain access to these resources, you should open a bug in bugzilla with the following parameters: | |||
* Product: Mozilla QA | |||
* Component: Infrastructure | |||
Bugs should be assigned to Al Billings (abillings) at this point. | |||
Examples of why to open bugs: | |||
* You're working on a project and need a Linux or Windows server for QA development for a quarter or two. You can get an PHX hosted virtual machines on the ESX server. | |||
* You have testcases or scripts that need to be publicly accessible. It is possible to permanently add these to the configuration of mozqa.com or get access there to run code (such as PHP). (SSL certificates and virtual hosts that were put in place, for example). | |||
Generally speaking, virtual machines running in ESX should be for short or medium term use by QA. If you need a server on a more permanent, long term basis, you should open an IT bug and have the IT provision one for you. That enables long term support and back ups. | |||
