Infrastructure overhaul of 2017

[Telex]

Wow! For volunteers, you guys really know how to let everyone know how a project is going. I wish I had you guys available to work on something that I have to deal with in RL. Excellent descriptions/explanations indeed. I haven't had a chance to play in ages, but it's probably time I took another look soon =)

Hi Elly

freakin amazing, thanks @TheAnswer for the hard word on recovering the data at that time. Mastered every prof on my main and would hate to regrind that any time soon ;_; Cheers to the team for your continued work over the years!

Damn, this just proves the insane amount of work that goes into this project behind the scenes. I've said it before but thank you guys for all the hard work you put in.

I've taken to Googleing (Googling? LOL) some of what Lordkator wrote about to understand it more. Pretty impressive stuff. Not to gush repetitively, but feels very sleek and very pro.

Lordkator....you are shiny and chrome.

Excellent write up! I appreciate the work that goes into upgrading the environment on a scale such as this. There are a lot of moving parts that are beyond just having a play-test server (Basalist) and a test-test server (Nova) running SWGEmu code. It was killing me this past August when there were posts getting all upset over backups and notifications. Crap happens. It is what you do after the crap happens that makes the difference.

Beautiful and elegant infrastructure

I used to be a DBA for a major motion picture studio here in the US, so I totally appreciate how you've designed things. Having a roll-forward feature is priceless.

First-class work, ~lordkator

Would be an amazing system to work with and probably expensive. Hope it improves paths and pings for us Western Europeans.

Basilisk moved on September 24, 2017 so you should be getting the new pings now, if you're still having issues I would look to your local ISP. It's hosted in the same DC as most of the high frequency financial trading systems and has massive pipes to all over the world.

Awesome stuff, thank all of you so much

Reading the description it mentioned that Bas has been moved to the new hardware but the diagram shows Bas outside the k8s cluster? Has Bas not been containerized yet?
