[Bug 1537793] Re: Autoupdate should be less frequent and more randomly distributed

 

This bug was fixed in the package snapd - 2.0.8

---------------
snapd (2.0.8) xenial; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release: LP: #1589534
    - debian: make `snap refresh` times more random (LP: #1537793)
    - cmd: ExecInCoreSnap looks in "core" snap first, and only in
      "ubuntu-core" snap if rev>125.
    - cmd/snap: have 'snap list' display helper message on stderr
      (LP: #1587445)
    - snap: make app names more restrictive.

Title:
  Autoupdate should be less frequent and more randomly distributed

Status in Snappy:
  In Progress
Status in snapd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in snapd source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Currently the autoupdate timer (snappy/debian/snappy-autopilot.timer)
  is set to hourly with a 15 minute accuracy.

  As snappy will be included in 16.04 desktops (millions of them), this
  rate has the potential to seriously overload the Click Package Index
  service. I suggest changing this to 3 times per day, randomly
  distributed across 24hr on a per host basis so we don't get top-of-the
  hour thundering herds.

  Further rationale is to also avoid having updates downloaded by all
  hosts within the first hour of release, since gradual/staged updates
  are not implemented for snaps.
