Our globetrotting releng heroes are off to London next week for the Mozilla all-hands meeting, but the weekly highlights are back after a brief Nigerian vacation. ;)

Modernize infrastructure:

Joel, Q, and Catlee have moved another 1/3 of our Windows 7 test load into AWS, bringing us to about 2/3 of our total test load migrated. This further reduces our turnaround time and backlog for that platform.

Mark landed several Puppet patches to support package installs for Windows 7. Including WIndows 7 sdk, Apache, and others. This furthers our progress on having programmatically installed and managed Windows 7.

Kendall and Jake spent the week together making significant progress towards phase 1 of moving mozreview and autoland into the cloud as production-grade services. The new architecture has been planned, diagrammed, passed a preliminary security review, and much of the new deployment automation and management code has been written.

We’ve dropped support for architectures that don’t support SSE2. This allows us to switch to VS2015 for compilation on Windows, which brings with it a substantial improvement (>1 hour) in Windows PGO build times. See the thread in dev.platform for details.

Improve Release Pipeline:

Varun’s patch to improve Balrog for multifile updates landed successfully in production.

As of Firefox 45.2.0 ESR all desktop releases have been switched to Release Build Promotion.

Improve CI Pipeline:

Kim landed changes to run ASAN builds on Taskcluster.

Francis landed changes to enable Valgrind builds on taskcluster and move them to mozharness.

Release:

Shipped Firefox 47.0b6 and 47.0b7, Fennec 47.0b6. Details here:

Outreach/Community:

Kim attended DevOps Days Toronto and wrote a summary here.

If you are interested in submitting a talk to the Releng 2016 conference in Seattle on Nov 18, the deadline is July 1.

See you next week!
