      • public facing traffic
      • util copy that fronts git auth
    • nginx (https termination)

    • beanstalkd
    • load balancer (IPVS/LVS) - old school load balancing system doing layer 4
    • NFS

    • 2 db clusters
      • 1 master one slave each
      • one cluster for d.o
      • one for sub sites

staging

  • services
    • apache
      • needs different configuration from prod
    • nginx
      • we want to replicate ssl on staging (SSL cert)
    • mysql
      • needs different configuration from prod
    • nfs
      • needs different configuration from prod
    • drupal applications
      • needs different configuration from prod
    • memcache

    • cron jobs
    • packaging
    • civicrm
  • staging application requirements
    • database dump
      • currently staging is partially sanitized - no email

      • devel blackbox mailer
      • memcache
      • pifr/pift
      • rev proxy addressess
      • this stuff should be in VCS
    • duplicates of cron jobs

meta

  • jenkins
    • create staging from production (dev from prod)
      • dumping database
      • clean databases
