  • git cache, waiting on a deb package (which?) to be reviewed/uploaded by ops
  • package manager cache: maybe gemstash
  • TODO: manually trigger nodepool to spin up more instances with a lot of commits
  • nodepool still doesn't send stats to statsd, need python-shade (blocked on ops) to upgrade nodepool
    • still need to patch Nodepool to reduce the stats it does send
