Infrastructure Apprentice
The 'fi-apprentice' group in the Fedora Account System is one with a lot of read-only access to various Fedora infrastructure machines. This group is used for new folks to look around at the infrastructure setup, check machines and processes and see where they might like to contribute moving forward. This also allows apprentices to examine and gather info on problems, then propose solutions.
Access to many infrastructure machines
Members of the fi-apprentice group have ssh/shell access to many machines, but no sudo rights or ability to commit to puppet (but they do have read-only puppet access). Access is via the bastion.fedoraproject.org machine and from there to each machine. Exceptions to this access are: backups*, db*, fas*, sign*, rel* and compose*, These machines may contain sensitive data and are almost always in a production mode.
Nagios alerts
This group does NOT get nagios alerts. If you wish to see them, you should join the sysadmin group.
Regular checkins
On the first of each month a mentor will mail all the folks in the group. This email will ask what tasks they are working or or interested in, what they are using their access for and if they intend to be active in infrastructure. Please look for and answer these emails as they come to you.
Length of membership
This group will be pruned each cycle in the general housekeeping task. Members who have not logged into any machine and/or are not active will be removed.
