## Intro tasks:
- Coordinate w/ Oleh & Jamie on current backups (hw maybe in Berlin/Boulder)
- Organize visibility into cloud resources
- Figure out split of what is hosted by ethpandaops and devops team
- (This is a very good way to get to know what is where and who manages it!)
- Maybe integrate with the inventory scanner tool (needs building)
- Maybe use the ethdevops github org or a new repo for self-hosted hardware (ideally one that we can use with public runners for linting)
## Longer term issues to track:
- Coord w/ Ligi for github backup, Archive-It
- Coord w/ Rafael for forums maint, Staging/Prod setup, backups
- Coord w/ OpSec for hackmd, notion, other docs systems backups
- HW planning for backup servers
- Yeet cluster repo (?)
- Maybe push for ethereum org to be non legacy github account anymore, so we can have free CI/CD action runners (?)
- CI improvements for geth
- Visibility into PSE AWS account and infrastructure
- Redirects server on AWS names & addresses (previously managed by Shivam & has no code so it would be good to revisit this set up and clean it up) It seems the initial set up was for this issue: https://github.com/ethereum/devops/issues/1004
- Look into better UIs for cloud cost monitoring, perhaps kubecosts or the like (had issues with DO and kubecost in the past)
- Add Markus as admin for eth r&d? Figure out better bot protection there
