Dropping the Arm Neoverse (Ubuntu) server on RubyCI
Description
Context¶
On July 26 2024, 4 days ago, the person at Arm sponsoring a SSH-accessing Arm server via Works on Arm program told me that they could no longer sponsor the server after 10th August 2024. We have been using Equinix's Arm-based virtual machine on their cloud infrastructure[2] for the server right now.
The person at Arm told me that Arm is actually scaling down their servers at Equinix within the Works on Arm program. While the person at Arm suggested using their cloud offerings listed on the [1] for paid or free tier, I need to take time to investigate how to continue to use Arm-based SSH-accessing servers continuously within the Works on Arm program if we want to continue to use it. At least we need to drop the Arm-based server that is named as "Arm Neoverse (Ubuntu)" on RubyCI until 10th August 2024.[3]
Note for Ruby project commiters using the "Arm Neoverse (Ubuntu)" server¶
Dear commiters,
Please back up your files on the "Arm Neoverse (Ubuntu)" server if you have the files which you want to back up on the server. After 10th August 2024, we cannot access to the server by SSH any more.
Steps to drop the "Arm Neoverse (Ubuntu)"¶
I plan to do the following tasks to drop the "Arm Neoverse (Ubuntu)".
- Drop the "Arm Neoverse (Ubuntu)" on RubyCI.
- Remove the content about the "Ubuntu arm neoverse" on our Wiki page.
- Drop the content about Works on Arm on www.ruby-lang.org, which I added by the pull-request https://github.com/ruby/www.ruby-lang.org/pull/3183.
Please let me know if you find any other task about this topic.
