Infrastructure

Is there a lot of work involved? Before groing our infra, it might make sense to get this dealt with, now that Debian 8 is rolled out
It's still not high priority, so if it takes lots of resources, we can defer - interested to hear if it takes a lot of effort (e.g. wrt. firewalling and routing).

It's just stupid work that takes some time.
Good time during the migration on the rack.

I read something about IPv6 firewalling in the recent agenda - is this still an issue, or has this ticket been dealt with?

A sudo ifconfig | grep inet6 on the big manitu boxes yield only fe80:: addresses, so it seems to be pending still indeed ;-)

Major firewall topics?
Adjustments for Gluster?

Neither. The firewall will stay shut (only TCP/22 for incoming packets), and Glusterd will keep chatting in the private v4 space (using the 10G pipe that can be found in the rack).

I'd like to prioritize this one accordingly
It's not a big deal, but still something we IMHO should "just do" if possible :)

Yeah but it falls in the “nice to have” category as v6-only admins can still reach the boxes. In fact the only thing I can think of where lacking v6 would hit us is if one of the very few hosts these boxes try to reach (deb.debian.org, mail.documentfoundation.org, and it's pretty much it) removes v4 records. And that's veeery unlikely.

Maybe for one of the next maintenance windows, when there's a downtime anyways?

No need to bring the network (let alone the host) down to do this.
