Description

AutomaticProvisioning is the umbrella project for supporting dynamic provisioning of systems within the releng infrastructure. This will include hosts with all supported operating systems (Windows, OS X, and Linux) on a variety of hardware and virtualization platforms (server hardware, Macs, VMware, AWS) as well as mobile testing hardware such as panda boards and tegras.

This is the infrastructure sister project to Auto-tools/Projects/TaskCluster. Both fall under a larger initiative to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of building and testing for Firefox and Firefox OS.

Two other related but out-of-scope projects are:

  • Direct Connection to Amazon
  • Deploying a local Blob Storage engine

2014Q2

  • Automatic creation of images with puppet, MDT, Kickstart, etc.
