[webkit-dev] Switching servers for EWS and flakiness dashboard

[Aakash Jain]

Hi All,

We are planning to switch to new servers for two of the apps: EWS(webkit-queues.appspot.com) and flakiness dashboard (http://webkit-test-results.appspot.com/dashboards/flakiness_dashboard.html). It would be good to restart all the bots communicating with these apps to ensure that they switch to new server. We will be handling most of the bots, except the ones which we don't have the admin access to (e.g.: efl-wk2-ews and gtk-wk2-ews). It would be great if the admins for these bots can do the necessary.

We plan to commit the patch to switch the servers tomorrow early afternoon (July 30, PST timezone) and restart the bots soon after. You can see more details at https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147178

For those who are interested in knowing more, we are switching the servers since Google is depreciating one of the datastore model : master/slave datastore (https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/deprecations/ms_datastore) which these Apps were using. Going forward, we will be using AppScale which is an open-source alternative to Google App Engine.

Thanks
Aakash
