Beast2 CI Availability Improvement Options

[iTinkerBell]

1. GitHub Organization Plan Analysis

• Cost to upgrade to Enterprise
• Benefits of Enterprise
• Explore dedicated runners for the team (Beast2, Capy, etc - select repositories only)

2. CI Speed Optimization Report

• How fast can the current CI process be made to go (excluding slop-driven development)
• Cost analysis with 3 pricing tiers:
  • Most expensive option
  • Mid-tier option
  • Low-tier option
• Include high-performance hardware specs (e.g., Xeon with many processors, large memory)
• Scope: dedicated runners for the team only
• Confirm if the same runners can also support cloud-based slop-driven development

3. Cloud vs. Hardware Infrastructure Report

• Options for cloud services (e.g., AWS) that can provide fast dedicated slots
• Compare cloud vs. buying own hardware (supercomputer)
• Cost comparison (prefers cloud, but depends on price)
