Gnome infrastructure is now sponsored by AWS


This post was contributed by Andrea Veri from the GNOME Foundation. GNOME has historically hosted its infrastructure on premises.

That changed with an A WS Open Source Credits program sponsorship which has allowed our team of two SREs to migrate the majority of the workloads to the cloud and turn the existing OpenShift environment into a fully scalable and fault tolerant one thanks to the infrastructure provided by AWS. By moving to the cloud, we have dramatically reduced the maintenance burden, achieved lower latency for our users and contributors and increased security through better access controls. Based on our previous experience with the program and the people running it, we decided to request sponsorship from AWS for the entire infrastructure, which was kindly accepted.
