Hi Dan,
Should Audrey's (config) server run ok on i386 hosts?
Thinking that unlike other parts of the Aeolus stack - which we "advertise" as 64-bit only - Audrey probably doesn't have to be.
Being able to run on i386 vs just x64 *might* help keep deployment costs minimised.
Even though EC2 Micro instances can be either 32 or 64 bit, other cloud providers may be different. (no idea personally :>)

I can't think of any good reason it shouldn't run on either -- it's just a webapp after all.
We explicitly supported it only on 64-bit for product because the virt platforms we support for product are all 64-bit only with the exception of ec2 micro. But for upstream I see no reason we shouldn't build it for both archs. If there's any special reason not to do that, speak up now...

Agreed, since it's ruby it should run on either arch. I'm not aware of anything arch specific that we've done.
looping in Greg to be sure I'm not missing something. He's pto today so we probably won't hear back from him till monday.

I haven't recently but quite a while ago I had spun up and run Config Server in i386 mode.
Not sure if anything has changes since that would prevent that but it had worked.

It's python, so I can't think of a reason why it would care.

D'oh! That's what I get for answering too fast. Sorry for the confusion.
