Retiring the Infra mqtt service running on firehose
Hello everyone, This is a short note to announce that we will be retiring the mqtt service that was running on our firehose.openstack.org server. The server itself will also be removed. This should happen in the next day or two. This service never saw production use. It was a great little experiment, and I think several of us learned a lot in the process. Unfortunately, the service needs more care than we can provide it (config management updates and upgrades primarily). Considering the maintenance needs and the lack of use(rs) our best option appears to be simply turning it off. As a note, it appears the service may have died at some point anyway and hasn't been functioning. The lack of complaints are another indications that we are fine to turn it off. If you need access to the data the firehose was providing, you should be able to procure it via other methods (like the Gerrit event stream). Clark

Also, while we are likely to retire the various MQTT bridge projects we developed around it in the near future, you can still fork or ask to have control of them transferred to you if you find them useful for running a similar service yourself. None of the things we were reporting in the firehose required privileged access (well, except for the configuration management update stream, which we stopped publishing there a while back), so there's nothing stopping someone from setting up their own firehose as a fully functional replacement. -- Jeremy Stanley
