+ <p>The &os; Cluster Administration Team consists of the people
+ responsible for administering the machines that the project
+ relies on for its distributed work and communications to be
+ synchronised.</p>
+
+ <p>Our primary cluster has been hosted as a guest in California
+ for many years. Our ongoing project is relocating the core
+ functionality to a location in New Jersey with a formal
+ hosting arrangement. This is an equipment refresh,
+ consolidation for better use of resources, and for better
+ continuity of service.</p>
+
+ <p>There is a significant amount of behind-the-scenes work to
+ make this happen. The original cluster was implemented with
+ a common, shared, assumed-to-be secure network with
+ ubiquitous NFS everywhere. This structure does not lend
+ itself well to being distributed across geographically
+ diverse locations, particularly when Internet transit is
+ required. The bulk of the work is rebuilding services to be
+ portable, stand-alone components that do not depend on
+ shared-network access and are safe enough to use across the
+ insecure Internet.</p>
+
+ <p>Highlights this quarter:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Many internal distribution systems switched from rsync to
+ a distribution mesh using "syncthing".</li>
+ <li>We have implemented more code/data signing infrastructure
+ with out-of-band verification.</li>
+ <li>New 32-core reference build hosts are online.</li>
+ <li>Internal admbugs switched from bugzilla 4.4 to 5.0 and
+ packages were made available for the bugmeister team.</li>
+ <li>Finally switched from varnish3 to varnish4.</li>
+ <li>We exorcised hub.FreeBSD.org, the last survivor of the
+ 2012 security incident.</li>
+ <li>vuxml and the legacy portaudit build system were converted to
+ components and integrated.</li>
+ <li>https://download.FreeBSD.org/ is nearing completion (please
+ do not use until officially announced).</li>
+ <li>A Taiwan node was brought into service for pkg, ftp,
+ svn, and vuxml mirroring.</li>
+ <li>One of the freebsd-update mirrors was converted from
+ lighttpd to nginx due to a data corruption bug.</li>
+ <li>Completed detachment of the svn repository from the old
+ cluster and moved it to its new location.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>Ongoing:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>The cluster runs a mixture of 11-current and 10-stable
+ as part of our "eat our own dogfood" project. For this
+ to be useful we do monthly cluster refreshes to keep up with
+ current code.</li>
+ <li>We build internal base system snapshots every few days
+ and packages every day.</li>
+ <li>We also provide support for non-clusteradm-operated
+ services including jenkins, reviews, portsnap,
+ freebsd-update, bugzilla, package builders, git, and mercurial.
+ This varies from as little as maintaining SSL front-ends
+ through operating servers, distributing data or building
+ packages/binaries to run.</li>
+ </ul>
