<div class="" id="magicdomid2">If you follow <a href="https://status.python.org/">https://status.python.org/</a> you saw we did some load testing last week and learned from it! We redirected some traffic, for a few periods, for `pip install`, from the old server to Warehouse, and learned from it. For instance, <a href="https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/3280">people running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (long term service release)</a> are usually using a pretty old version of pip, and <a href="https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/3293">people on some versions of the Mac OS</a> have older versions of Python and old versions of security-related libraries that don't support the version of TLS that we want them to use. Ernest, Donald and Dustin did a bunch of work addressing this, including Donald putting out <a href="https://pypi.org/project/pip/9.0.2/">pip 9.0.2</a>.<br></div>

It's <a href="https://github.com/cabotage/cabotage-app">cabotage</a> & <a href="https://github.com/cabotage/test-app/commits?author=ewdurbin&since=2018-03-01T05:00:00Z&until=2018-03-21T04:00:00Z">a test cabotage app</a>, <a href="https://github.com/python/pypi-salt/commit/1a20cd53ffce0fd3d018d989199d30e11d35ad83">configuration with salt</a>, <a href="https://github.com/pypa/conveyor/commits?author=ewdurbin&since=2018-03-13T05:00:00Z&until=2018-03-21T04:00:00Z">conveyor</a>, <a href="https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/5076">pip</a> & <a href="https://github.com/pypa/get-pip/commits?author=ewdurbin&since=2018-03-01T05:00:00Z&until=2018-03-21T04:00:00Z">get-pip</a>, and <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/kubectl/issues/335">he filed a bug in Kubernetes</a> which I personally find particularly impressive. And it's in user-facing communication in IRC and GitHub comments and on our statuspage and Twitter,</span> plus a lot of internal discussion with infrastructure colleagues.
