Welcome

Updates:

• General updates

• Hyrax Release

  • Close to release and Nurax-hosted Sirenia instance, some remaining AWS issues to resolve

  • Emory close to this style of deployment, tweaking FITS and S3- EC2, RDS, S3, Terraform-based approach, complex deployment scripts.

    • They have a draft architecture diagram with pending updates

  • Nurax is using ECS rather than EC2

  • Estimate day’s worth of work if no major unanticipated “gotchas”

  • Caveats in upcoming release notes will be largely concerning Wings/ActiveFedora/Fedora 4

• Status of Nurax Testing instance for Performance Work?

  • Performance Testing

• Migration updates (Emily Porter - Emory)

  • Rapidly approaching 1M resources in F6

  • ~14K works, 111K filesets

  • 40% complete migration

  • F6 performing really well- “snappy”

  • Starting work on automated large-scale fixity checking

    • Already running F4 S3 checks on binaries in flat structure

    • Using OCFL, questions about best practices, will reach out to Fedora team

    • No mass fixity check in Fedora, just individual, but might be able to use OCFL Java client

    • On-demand fixity checking within Hyrax

    • Will be submitting a presentation to Samvera Virtual Connect

What work remains?
