Need help setting up Release Kanban board for multiple company managed projects to access.  Not sure the best approach to take.  Would appreciate any suggestions and help.

Thanking you in advance for your kind assistance,

As a follow up to this. I have deployed M5 instance types and I am running my performance test scripts. Early indications are good.

Hi Greg, did you also consider C5 instances as well? It seems like it has a good ratio of vCPU to memory that might benefit in our usage scenario where we get large occasional bursts of activity.

I’ve started cutting some m4s to m5s and new workloads appear to be going ok. There’s some documentation around ensuring your kernel supports enhanced network interfaces (ENI) and checking fstab is referencing labels not devices before changing to an m5, but even after confirming this was the case, after changing the class on two servers, they didn’t boot fully. Need to do some more testing as I’m sure there’s something I’m missing, but for now it wasn’t a straight change. 

Need to get some more time sorting this out as our m4 RIs are up and want to purchase m5s, so happy to report back. If you figure anything out about changing, would be great to hear as well. FYI - nodes have been Ubuntu 14 or 16 so far.

Why wouldn't you deploy a clean AMI and re-provision it using Puppet or the like instead of migrating your existing one?

Doing that where possible, but we still have some snowflakes.

What is your concern? That they don't have enough burn in as a hardware infra class?

The concern was only any intricacies of a new instance type. I have since deployed 4 EC2 M5 instances in DC configuration. I am moving to reserved pricing and it's a large commitment for an instance type that might not be widely used across Atlassian customers.
