2019-07-10 Meeting Notes

Vince - 28 Jun 2019 - 17 Jul 2019 
Diana 05 Jul 2019 - 02 Aug 2019
Gary - 09 Sep 2019 - 19 Sep 2019 

• Campus allows a for project account or departmental account. 
• We can use a project account
• We submit it thru Gateway, need an account/fund/sub
• Jim Woods is willing to use our project as a test case
  • 10 Jul 2019 - Steven respoke with Jim Woods and Gateway is not setup yet to get us into the pre-made accounts that Jim Woods and the Campus Team are working on. But, Gateway is setup to create an account which will be charged directly to the contract that Diana is setting up. Jim Woods has a similar contract setup for his work right now. And, he will be looking to migrate his current account into the "official account" once the Cloud team is ready to do that. We could probably do that same thing. His advice on preparing our implementation for a migration is to ensure that we could rebuild out cloud based services if needed.
• We need a Redis database, maybe <5$/month, most likely free - security for chatbot commands - our Hubot permissions to run chatbot commands are stored in a brain (store). Right now it is stored in memory on Heroku, and every time chatbot goes to sleep we have to re-enter the permissions. We need to store them in a Redis database for a persistent storage. The Redis database is a standard for storing a Hubot brain.
• And a SQL server database for storing users, apps, usage - get data out for reporting and account cleanup, lower the attack surface
• Cost - $24/mo total
  • $11/mo for SQL Server database.
  • $13/mo for Redis database
• Heroku will come later
• 21 Jun 2019  Diana met with Matt Hall. He is OK with us using AWS for the account cleanup purposes and the Hubot brain. We will create a project account when the environment is ready. Matt suggested that we use the native AWS RDS instead of SQL Server, but is not a requirement.

• Started Processing an API Access Request documentation targeting API Gateway Admins as the audience
• : The API Access Request form asks for the Application Name, which is generally filled out as a normal human readable name. However this name is usually different than the actual 'application name' that is registered in the API Gateway (for example. Request "CS48 Project" is for Application "cs48test"). Do we want to setup a multiline input box that will ask for the exact name of all applications that are associated with the request? Sometimes requests will need to be split up into multiple apps (for cams).
  • We will add a field in the Admins Only section in the API Access Request form for the Gateway App Name. We will continue to ask developers to submit a new API Access request form for each gateway app to make reporting easier.
