+## Agenda
+
+### New Ansible setup
+
+Chris presented the new Ansible setup he's been working on. We plan to use
+WireGuard for networking. We agreed that selfhosting Kubernetes is not the way
+to go. In general, the main benefit from switching away to Linode to Netcup is
+going to be a ton more resources from the Netcup root servers we were given. The
+original issue with Linode's AKS of constantly having problems with volumes has
+not been present for a while. Chris mentions the one remaining issue is that
+we're at half our memory capacity just at idle.
+
+It's our decision where to go from here - we can stick to the Kubernetes setup
+or decide on migrating to the Ansible setup. But we have bare metal access to
+the Netcup hosts, which makes e.g. managing databases a lot easier. Chris
+mentions the possibility to only use Netcup for our persistence and Linode AKS
+for anything else, but this has the issue of us relying on two sponsors for our
+infrastructure instead of one.
+
+PostgreSQL was set up to run on ``lovelace``.
+
+### Decision
+
+**It was decided to hold a vote on the core development channel, which will be
+evaluated next week to see how to proceed with the setup**.
