Firefox account based Sync progressing well through nightly/aurora. Over 15k accounts activated so far, roughly half actively doing syncing on a daily basis. > 30% have multiple devices. Even with 7500 accounts active, still seeing very few bug reports which "makes us nervous" -- can still use help testing, especially for multi-device desktop/android flows. Thx to everyone that has filed bugs so far! QA/ops load tests yielding performance/stability improvements that put us on track for the expected big bump in usage when 29 goes to beta channel. | |||
Firefox Account + Sync brownbag being scheduled for April, specific dates TBD. | |||

*AUS is now Cache friendly! This helps reduce load on the web servers and storage array by almost 1 order of magnitude & in turn lowers the amount of infrastructure we need to host this service, and frees up both storage and compute resources for other tasks. | |||
*Product Delivery NFS mounts untangled in TCW, now using NetApp's junction mounts to make 14 volumes appear as 1 mount point to the clients. | |||
