In the current revamp-CSE's-IT-infrastructure project, the term New World refers to a new way of doing thigs as compared to the Old World. In particular:
- Use of cfengine to manage a minimal amount of installed software and configuration files (mainly in
/etc
), - Use of Debian's
apt
family of tools to automatically manage installation and upgrading of software packages, - Naming of servers after geographical location and function (e.g., nw-syd-login1 being a New World login server in one of Amazon AWS' Sydney datacentres) and labs after musical instruments or instrument types (remains the same),
- QEMU/KVM to virtualise hosts,
- Additional Debian package installation controlled by teaching staff rather than CSG,
- An "extra files" directory on user-loginable hosts, such as lab computers, whose contents are controlled by teaching staff rather than CSG.
