Last week

  • Best thing
    • Found the root cause for the CI jobs 25-45% slow down in October: seccomp. A security system to filter allowed syscalls, ends up it has a VERY noticeable overhead. Fix: docker run --security-opt seccomp=unconfined # T236675
    • contint2001 being reimaged to Buster. Will fight puppet/scap to have Zuul deployed via scap3.
  • Worst thing
    • Haven't started on Betterworks OKRs goals thing. Will look at Mukunda ones which looks nicely formatted.
