Deployment tooling/Cabal/2015-07-06

Last week's goal

• Setup 10 staging restbase instances

Topics

1. Next weeks goal

• Evaluate against https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Deployment_tooling/Future#Future_Requirements
  • Code distribution (done via remotes set to gerrit)
    • Should fanout
    • Should be capable of deploying artifacts
    • Should be able to set upstream to tin or gerrit (phabricator future)
    • Fanouts maybe should be implemented
    • gerrit → tin → proxy-nodes (like with scap, but git instead of rsync)
    • Artifacts that are built as a part of deployment (l10n cache)
    • Deployment of artifacts (git-annex, transport mechanism agnostic)

1. What should we focus on

• multiple approaches, one step at a time
• one approach, end-to-end, with evaluation

Weekly goal

• Set up the hosts and deploy via ansible - https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/RESTBase
• 3 different approaches
• 26b23fcc3e68f752f4b413970dea631cf403fefe

• Implement fanout
• Implement upstream config
• Evaluation rubric:https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Deployment_tooling/Future#Future_Requirements

    # Code readability/SLOC     # Modular (can start with simple git checkout for RESTBase but is it modular enought to accommodate other mechanisms?)     # Feedback to user     # Can be aborted (cleanly)     # Verifiable     # Atomic, with depooling / re-pooling?      Etherpad backed up to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Deployment_tooling/Cabal
