SV: 2016/11/14 - 2016/11/18

• Bug 1302567 - watch_pending should send an alert when we're outbid for spot instances
  • Created a PR, will wait for Nick’s review
• Bug 1317723 - Rebalance the Win8 machine pool
  • 222 XP machines available (11 have some issues though)
  • Will need to decide how many to move to Win 8 pool (RyanVM suggested to keep 60 XP machines)
  • ~100 XP machines working at the moment, but most of them have “Time since last job” > 1h
• Bug 1312923 - Mac OS X 10.10 test machines receive 2 OS popups ("What's new in OS X Yosemite" followed by "Upgrade to macOS Sierra") which might interfere with tests
  • I would like to start tomorrow morning (Thursday) if nothing urgent pops in by that time
• Bug 1313958 - Provide clamav >= v0.98 in our yum repos
  • Received feedback from Amy and Callek
  • Will need to create a new custom repo and test the solution
