Snowflake Broker Deployment 22-10-25

We are going to deploy a new version of snowflake broker configuration to snowflake broker. The broker binary isn't updated, and remain v2.3.1.

This will rollout the change we did in Snowflake Broker Deployment 22-10-03 plus include secondary bridge definition, and Remove GOMAXPROCS=1.

Deployment Script

sv stop snowflake-broker
cp /etc/service/snowflake-broker/run ./snowflake-broker-run-22-10-25-backup-$(date +%N)
cp /home/snowflake-broker/bridge_lists.json ./bridge_lists_json-22-10-25-backup-$(date +%N)

install --owner root ./snowflake-broker-run-22-10-25-candidcate /etc/service/snowflake-broker/run
install --owner root ./bridge_lists_json-22-10-25-candidcate /home/snowflake-broker/bridge_lists.json

sv start snowflake-broker

New Run File

(the difference is at --allowed-relay-pattern)

(-ip-count-mask's value is not real value used on the production system)

Side effect to be watched

The network capacity of the snowflake may be decreased(again).
