The Workbench public beta has been online for almost a year at SDSC. We've made some considerable changes that would allow us to cut down on the resource footprint created by this cluster:

• shrank required number of GLFS node replicas from 4 to 2
• nodes can now have multiple labels to make more efficient use of resources

The following resources are currently provisioned at SDSC:

Planned changes:

• Cut 4 dedicated GLFS instances down to 2
• Remove dedicated LMA node (since it's only running grafana)

After reprovision:

For discussion:

• Remove dedicated loadbal node?
• Resize compute nodes?
• Dedicated etcd node?
• Are there any other considerations that might have been missed?

Assume purge GLFS and running stacks. See also https://opensource.ncsa.illinois.edu/confluence/display/NDS/Beta+release+communication

Completion criteria:

• Send downtime announcement
• Backup etcd (ndslabs user data)
• Deploy new cluster based on above specs
• Integration tests pass
• Send resume announcement
• Tear down old cluster

This ticket is complete when the above reprovision has been discussed and executed.
