New action items from this meeting

  • 2024-02-22 Paul to email Equinix about the price increase [Topic: Equinix AM6 Price Increase]
  • 2024-02-22 Paul to open a ticket for Fastly root access and ask Grant there whether Ian has access. [Topic: Fastly root access]

Equinix AM6 Price Increase

Equinix AM6 is asking for:

  • 20% more for space.
    • Reasonable, hasn't been up since we moved in.
  • 20% more for power.
    • Not unreasonable, but they had said no further increases in 2024.
  • 5% more for crossconnects.
    • Reasonable.

Action item: Paul to email Equinix about the price increase.


Fastly root access

Does Ian have access?

Suggestions: Ask Ian/Fastly or wait for Grant.

  • Email on 16 February 2024.
  • We have a ticket for moving the config to code, which should be enough.
  • We don't have a ticket for access, which is also needed for vector tiles.
    • We probably don't want OpenTofu to have root access.
    • We might want to restrict permissions to just edit the distributions.

Action item: Paul to open a ticket for Fastly root access and ask Grant there whether Ian has access.
