< MediaWiki on Kubernetes

Vision: Support improvement of our Continuous Integration system through modernising ability to deploy, manage and scale MediaWiki instances
Stakeholder(s): Release Engineering Product Teams Sre Service Ops	Problem: Need to standardise deployment and management of MW instances	Solution: MediaWiki* is automatically packaged into (one or more) OCI container images**, which are semi-automatically deployed*** into Wikimedia production as kubernetes pods	Aligned Goals: ERF Y2: KR3: Evolve and replace our Continuous Integration and Review systems with 1 project moved by end of Q2 and 5 additional projects moved by Q3. In parallel, 70% of Wikimedia developed application layer production service traffic is served by the Deployment Pipeline in Q3 and 95% by Q4	Estimated Effort: 1 SRE 2-3 FTE Program Manager to coordinate across teams and orgs Engineering Manager	Risk assessment: Dependent on outcomes of discussion with Fandom/Wikia and their experience migrating Needs to be tightly scoped to MW on K8S, documenting but not actioning related work such as configuration management changes Needs to enforce consultation across teams and balance iterative progress
