They were still using a cluster of 50+ xserves to host a 800gb SAN in 2015. Permissions got hosed every single night because their ACLs were so poorly set up lol. I think the tech people were the only people at the company with a worse job than mine The XKCD Larper fucked around with this message at 05:16 on Sep 18, 2017 |

Mr. Nice! posted:only server i ever dealt with that was around this age was some old alpha server when i worked for texas tech's distance leaning group back in 02-03 as an cj an old-rear end nt4 box, nothing after that had alpha support (technically win2k had it in beta but it was never released)

they should bring back the xserve or similar otherwise your ios build farms have to run on rackmounted macs pro and that is just ridiculous

|
is that what Apple uses themselves or do they just have some internal OS X build that will run on Dell/HP/whatever rackmounts

prolly just dozens of macs mini arranged like blades

or they just have an internal build that doesn't have the kernel check for the SMC because osx will run on literally anything

I would assume they have secret non consumer hardware in the vein of those early intel dev kits they showed that looked like G5’s without branding

i also wouldn't be that surprised if their own internal build farms cross-compiled on linux or solaris and sidestepped the whole problem apple, historically, wasn't all-osx. maybe that has changed, but i doubt it.

the apple store runs on a next cube with webobjects installed and a ppc 604 accelerator

it's not hackintoshing if it's their os on supported hardware. if they pulled the smc check just about any bog standard xeon setup is supported natively with no additional kexts needed

I want to say they use/used FreeBSD? Siri runs on mesos, I’d bet that is Linux based.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:they should bring back the xserve or similar Talking to my friend who is a PM over at a very large digital media division, MacStadium (aka the guys who will rackmount your Mac Mini in a DC) makes most of their money running iOS build servers, and of that a good chunk is for companies who outsource their iOS app development. It's a combination of 'cut-rate dev shops in India wont give their coders Macs' and 'yeah we own this binary so we gotta compile it on a company-controlled box'.

I only ever used mesos as an alternative container manager on a cluster, then I saw them marketing it as like a full application container management system I mean it made sense but it also felt like "Yes lets use YARN to run our jabbascript apps"

marathon is the actual part that schedules docker containers, it's just a mesos framework. and yeah kubernetes is better

[quote="“RISCy Business”" post="“476606064”"] mesos is a centos/rhel thing i think [/quote] mesos is a Linux thing. most folks I know of don't run it on cent because the docker/kernel are so old. Mesosphere is targeting coreos in the future versions of the commercial release because of it. but I looked it up and Apple is a FreeBSD/rhel shop.

Nomad is quickly moving in for the kill, and k8 is much better for docker management.
