<p>Lead cluster administrator is a delegated officer role (aka. "hat")
|
|
that answers to the &os; Core Team and ultimately the &os; community
|
|
at large. This person shall have the operational authority over the
|
|
&os; cluster infrastructure (to the extent that the Core Team can
|
|
delegate this authority) and will be responsible for the following in
|
|
general:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Ensure the reliable operation of the Project's equipment and
|
|
network resources.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Ensure that the Project's resources are suitably and effectively
|
|
used to serve the Project's interests.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Ensure that reasonable security precautions and mitigations are
|
|
implemented within the constraints of the nature of a highly
|
|
distributed project.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Delegate to and coordinating with both the site-specific admin
|
|
teams and the admins at large.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Ensure that standard operating procedures, rules, guidelines etc
|
|
are documented and understandable.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Take measures to ensure that a competent administrator would be
|
|
expected to be able to adopt a predecessor's work in a reasonable
|
|
amount of time.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Contingency planning and implementation to ensure continuity
|
|
across site specific problems (including donated site withdrawal or
|
|
outages).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Keep the interested parties (Core Team, Security Team, &os;
|
|
Foundation, Port Management Team, etc), project members and community
|
|
members appropriately informed.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Give timely and authoritive answers to questions, or a direct
|
|
referral to the appropriate party.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Aid other hat wearers and cluster administrators to get their job
|
|
done.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Where practical and appropriate, use the Project's own product as
|
|
a proving ground.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Make sure that it is easy for developers to know what hardware
|
|
resources they have access to for project purposes.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>The lead cluster administrator answers to the &os; Core Team. If a
|
|
party is unhappy with a position that the hat wearer takes and is
|
|
unable to change their mind, they may take the issue to the Core Team.
|
|
The Core Team has the final say in the matter. If the lead cluster
|
|
administrator is a member of the Core Team then a complaint may be
|
|
made in confidence via the core secretary or another member if
|
|
desired.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Any of the following still require a sign-off from the Core Team:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>New public facing services.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Planned withdrawal of public facing services.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>New team members.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Notable interaction with other hats:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The lead cluster administrator will consult with the Security
|
|
Officer and the Security Team where appropriate but will be
|
|
responsible for making decisions. However, the Security Officer may
|
|
respond to security emergencies involving project infrastructure as
|
|
necessary.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>The Port Management Team has a large resource footprint and
|
|
arrangements will be made with them to effectively operate their
|
|
resources within the constraints of the overall cluster
|
|
operation.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Earmarked resources:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Some site resources are provided for specific purposes. Any such
|
|
earmarking or use restrictions will be documented to make sure such
|
|
resources are used as intended.</p>
