Infrastructure:Meltdown

Meltdown is VTLUUG's 3rd generation VM server. It replaces cyberdelia as a VM host for our more critical services. As of 2019 it also serves as a docker host, however, all web services still run on sczi. It is currently running Ubuntu 18.04.

It is a Dell R620, purchased in Spring 2018 as part of Project Bringing Sexy Back (along with spectre).

It has 2 12-core Intel Xeon E5-2620 @ 2.00GHz, with 64GB DDR# RAM, clocked at (???).
