Andrew Otto, Faidon Liambotis

Past
- ULSFO and ESAMS rate limiting issues, folks are working on this.
- Site outage 2013-11-08, see engineering list. Please work on reducing error lines from fatal logs.
- Varnish-text is up and running! some issues to work on like elevated 503 responses.
  - Squid->Varnish migration complete after 4 years. Squid to remain for another month or so as a rollback option \o/
- upload-lb.eqiad IP change for Zero will be completed before the end of the week
- deployment 'trebuchet' work: Ryan Lane is adding recursive submodule support, shadow reference repositories (pre-checked out reference clones during fetch stage) and MediaWiki localization generated on the targets, which uses the shadow reference support.
- Analytics row having PDU problems. Want to shuffle analytics boxes in different rows to reduce rack/row related SPOFs. This will probably pushback varnishkafka deployment :/
Future
- Mark Bergsma going on vacation for 3 weeks starting next week
- Swift to be switched to eqiad on Thursday
- Blocked by W0 on varnish conf changes

We're experiencing slave lag, had to rerun several reports.
Took geowiki offline some weeks ago, but it is back in gerrit! Private data is back too, but not pubically accessible. Ask if you need it.
X-forward-for handling, in discussiong with W0 folks, need to schedule time to implement solution. (https://mingle.corp.wikimedia.org/projects/scrum_of_scrums/cards/20)
