[Cloud-announce] Horizon and CI downtime Tomorrow, 2018-04-13
by Andrew Bogott 13 Apr '18

13 Apr '18

Next Friday we'll be upgrading our OpenStack cluster. The upgrade should not interrupt any existing tools or instances, but during the upgrade it will be impossible to create, delete, or modify WMCS VMs. I'll start the process at around 14:00 UTC (7AM PDT). The complete upgrade may take much of the day; Horizon will be disabled for the duration of this update. CI/Nodepool will function intermittently during this time. -Andrew _______________________________________________ Wikimedia Cloud Services announce mailing list Cloud-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org (formerly labs-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud-announce

mysql: Delete all rows older than N days
by MarcoAurelio 11 Apr '18

11 Apr '18

Hi, I'd like to issue a command to a database our team manages to clean all data older than 30 days. Browsing around I've found that: DELETE FROM $table WHERE $timestamp < NOW() - INTERVAL 30 DAY could work, but I'd like to check with you first just in case you have a better command or ideas. Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards, M.
