In addition to ongoing general maintenance and support of cardano environments, main SRE achievements for this quarter include:
- Completion of mainnet relay networking conversion to p2p topology
- Cardano sanchonet environment respins for testing new cardano-node pre-release Conway era functionality
- Stabilization of cardano-explorer in cardano-world using high IOPS bare metal machines
- Creation of a nix content addressed packages repository, capkgs:
- To provide lightweight release binaries thereby avoiding sluggish nix flakes and devShells
- Creation of a cardano performance benchmarking cluster, cardano-perf:
- To replace legacy cluster benchmark tooling
- Creation of a cardano cluster composition repository, cardano-parts:
- For enabling multi-cluster, multi-role cardano network deployments
- Creation of a cardano testnets repository, cardano-playground:
- Utilizing cardano-parts for testnet deployments
- Creation of a sanchonet demo repository, sanchonet-demo:
- Utilizing cardano-parts for fast sanchonet test environment and demo purposes
Next steps
- Continue with migration of cardano-world testnets to cardano-playground
- Proceed with spinup of mainnet p2p bootstrap cluster
- Scale down mainnet non-p2p legacy cluster at the appropriate time
