Testing with 65 Hosts

We have now tested our system with 65 machines using three of our school labs simultaneously. The time required to run the full installation of our Ubuntu workstations and servers took about the same time as with just 25 machines. We have a ten second delay between machine wake ups so it takes a bit longer due to that but we didn’t notice any delay otherwise. We also ran some Fabric tasks to see if there was any difference but everyhing went just as well as before. So I think it’s safe to say that you can control at least 65 remote hosts simultaneously without any problems with Fabric. I wish we could do tests with more machines but I think this is all we can do at this point.

Here’s a short video of us rebooting our 65 machines:
