+## News from the team
+
+- All the AWS resources related to the bastion are now managed with Terraform.
+  The documentation on [how to add whitelisted IPs][bastion-whitelist] has
+  also been updated.
+- Crater agents are now deployed with Ansible, and the related AWS resources
+  are now managed with Terraform. Agents are configured to check for updates
+  every 5 minutes.
+- There was an outage of docs.rs on Sunday night, the postmortem is going to be
+  published soon on the "Inside Rust" blog and work on the action items from it
+  is ongoing.

+## Putting a CDN in front of the CI S3 buckets (pietroalbini)
+
+After an audit of our bandwidth usage for the `rust-lang-ci-sccache2` and
+`rust-lang-ci-mirrors` S3 buckets we discovered CI is pulling respectively 8.3
+TB and 1.4 TB from them each month. Egress from S3 is pricey (0.09$/GB), while
+for us egress from CloudFront is way cheaper (0.04$/month, as across all of our
+distributions we transfer out more than 150 TB each month). Putting CloudFront
+in front of them is going to save us an estimate of 485$/month.
+
+Thankfully all the data in those buckets is immutable (mirrors are versioned
+and all caches are addressed by hash), so there are not going to be any
+problems due to cache invalidation. Sccache doesn’t support querying a CDN yet
+but aidanhs is going to write some pointers and pietroalbini is going to do the
+implementation work. The caches CDN is also going to query a new
+`rust-lang-ci-caches` bucket, to avoid the old naming scheme.
+
+pietroalbini already setup
+[ci-mirrors.rust-lang.org](https://ci-mirrors.rust-lang.org), and is going to
+do the implementation work to both create a CDN distribution for caches and
+switch the CI to query the CDN.
+
+## Moving infra documentation to the forge (pietroalbini)
+
+There is an effort in the project to centralize all the internal documentation
+[on the forge](https://forge.rust-lang.org). pietroalbini proposed to move all
+the infra team documentation to it. Everyone agreed, as we find value in having
+everything reachable in a single place. aidanhs pointed out that meeting
+minutes should not be migrated on the forge.
+
+## Next meeting time
+
+Europe will switch DST next week, so the next meeting will be at -1 hours for
+europeans and at the same time for everyone else on the team.
