I just asked on #fedora-rust, but it seems it is not easily possible to build the Fedora Rust packages for EL8. If I am understanding it correctly it seems we need to run the Rust based mirrorlist cache generation on a Fedora host. If we have a second mm-backend system (mm-backend02) that is Fedora based to generate the mirrorlist cache we could decrease the amount of RAM (32GB) on mm-backend01 to something like 8GB.
OK that makes sense. This will be something that needs upgrading every 6 months like our proxies, but it is what it is.
I have also seen that countme is deployed from ansible directly from git. I could do that also for mirrorlist cache generation code on RHEL 7 which would mean we do not need any other hosts. We could just run it directly on mm-backend01 as it is right now and switch between the existing Python based code and the new Rust based code just as we need it.
