Dear FIWARE support team,

in terms of FIC2Lab project we have set up a big machine which autonomously performs integration and functional testing using a container-based unit test runner (one unit test per SE or GE is one Jenkins job creating, testing and destroying a Docker container).

This machine is currently hosted by Lannion2.

As the number of software components we support this way in terms of sustainability grows, and we expect e.g. more GEs to come, I think it makes sense to request additional capacity from another node located somewhere else aside from Lannion to reduce risks of service outage.

Beyond the project scope we plan also to scale up the complexity of testing e.g. add load testing or other.

How do you think what is the best way to pick a node who would agree to provide a somewhat bigger flavour as we use it at Lannion?

• 4-6 CPUs
• 16 or better 24 GB RAM because of required environment simulation of more complex components. We have got one which alone requires at least 16GB and this in my opinion might cause heavy disk swapping and overall system performance decrease.
• 80 GB disk size
• 500 GB additional volume as Docker images cache
