Description
AFAIK @NixOS/infra has no fixed budget limits for operating infrastructure:
- This is a problem, since the team can't meaningfully answer requests such as when teams request services to be deployed, since they don't know what is considered affordable
- This bears a risk of overstretching available funds during normal operations, such as after the Equinix exit
Having visibility into what's possible is crucial for reducing uncertainty and stress, but also to expedite decisions on resource allocation.
I request the @NixOS/foundation to specify and publish monthly/yearly limits for official infrastructure expenses.
