Achievements

  • Whitehall now creates, updates & deletes organisation logos in Asset Manager
  • Existing Whitehall organisation logos have been moved to Asset Manager
  • Whitehall organisation logos are being served by Asset Manager
  • Manually triggered replication for production assets on S3 which pre-dated replication being enabled

Ongoing and next

  • Stop saving Whitehall organisation logo assets to Whitehall bit of NFS mount
  • Delete existing Whitehall organisation logo assets from Whitehall bit of NFS mount
  • Similar "migrations" of other asset types from Whitehall to Asset Manager
  • Nightly sync of Asset Manager assets from production S3 bucket to staging & integration buckets
  • Switch Asset Manager to use S3 in staging & integration
  • Delete all assets from Asset Manager bit of NFS mount

Blockers and help required

  • We'll need help setting up the nightly sync of production assets from S3, but we'll contact the Infrastructure team as and when necessary

Anything else you think people should know

  • We ran into a problem a couple of weeks ago whereby a syntax error in an Nginx config file could result in Puppet leaving machines in a state where Nginx would not restart on a re-boot. We’ve opened a couple of pull requests that aim to prevent this happening again.
