Request increased quota for twl Cloud VPS project
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Project Name: twl

Type of quota increase requested: vCPU

Reason:
We are planning on notifying ~30k editors about their eligibility and are expecting a pretty big increase in concurrent usage.
Because of the various things we are running right now, we can only dedicate 2 vCPUs to our main application instance, which can only service a small number of simultaneous authenticated users.
Right now, I can't test how we could scale with more cores since we only have one vCPU left, but I can saturate the CPU capacity of our similarly-sized staging instance with 25 simultaneous users in load testing.
We seem to be doing fine on storage and memory.

It would be great to get a large temporary increase in vCPUs (to 16 or 32) and the ability to resize our current g3.cores2.ram4.disk20 staging instance to something like g3.cores<8|16>.ram4.disk20. I can limit the cores available to the app further with local resource limits on the box to find the lower bound for a given concurrent user capacity. If it doesn't make sense to make new flavors just for testing, then we may need the other resources scaled up to allow us to resize our staging instance with the necessary cpu count in existing flavors.

If doing a temporary increase for testing doesn't make sense on your end, please let me know, I'm happy for this to be the beginning of a conversation on right-sizing our project resources.

Thanks!

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-cloud) [2021-09-16T08:22:38Z] <arturo> bump CORES quota from 8 to 32 (T290580)

Quota bumped to 32 cores. Please let us know when they are no longer required so we can reduce the quota.

Hi there, Sorry for the delay, I had to be unexpectedly out of the office for the last few weeks. I'm back in and working on this now. We'll need the RAM quota increased as well for us to test the higher core counts with the existing flavors. Could we get the ram pool for our project temporarily bumped to 32GB?

Please open a new request ticket for this.
