Open Stack

Hello Openstack team,


I wanted to bring to your attention a ticket recently created for docs.openstack.com and in regards to the large amount of files its consuming in the Cloud Sites environment. In the ticket 160812-dfw-0001549 there are more details in regards to the issue.


However, as a brief summary, while auditing our environment the site docs.openstack.org came to our attention. At the time of ticket creation the site docs.openstack.com was consuming ~594,000 files, since then it appears the site has grown to ~605,000 consumed files. This has made docs.openstack.com grow to be one of the largest inode consuming sites in Cloud Sites. Generally we recommend no single site have over 100,000 files alone as inodes are a finite resource in the Cloud Sites environment.


In the ticket I've provided some potential options that we can take to reduce the amount of files being consumed, and this is something we definitely should work together on to ensure no impact to the docs.openstack.com application while providing relief to the Cloud Sites environment. Along with this, the recent transaction with Cloud Sites moving to the Liquid Web family, we wanted to start this conversation as soon as possible to ensure we can provide a good migration plan should that be the route chosen to resolve this issue. If possible we ask that we continue to work on this issue in the ticket number listed above so we can have some lasting documentation in regards to this issue, as well as having the added benefit of having our entire Cloud Sites operations' team being able to assist with this issue.


If you have any questions or would like some clarification please do not hesitate to reach out, anything we can do to assist we will try our best to help. Working as a team to tackle this issue I feel will be the best method to resolving this.


Regards,

Tyler Coil
