Future
[edit]π₯π Train
[edit]- https://versions.toolforge.org/
- https://train-blockers.toolforge.org/
- https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments/Yearly_calendar
- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T371977 is a bug affecting the mwclient python library caused by a change in this week's train. Deploying the backport of the revert (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/1060468) would be a nice temp move to give the upstream time to fix the library.

Team Discussions
[edit]Things happening:
- Wikimania started today: https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2024:Wikimania/en
- Discussion of options re:Beta cluster to turn into a pumpkin
- Beta MediaWiki is provisioned using mediawiki puppet roles, which are due to be removed (after videoscalers, wikitech, and dumps move to k8s)
- Do nothing: these classes will likely be removed which leaves beta unmanaged + no way to provision new mw instances
- How much work should be done and what work needs to be done before we no longer need puppet
- Existing options:
- keep using the puppet code and don't remove it
- Put some kind of k8s in beta
- Would this make beta go away, eventually?
- It lets us replace MediaWiki. And probably the services using docker/systemd.
- One of the options is magnum
- Hand-rolled mediawiki servers? something like that.
K8s sync update
- videoscalers running in k8s for group0
- Hugh is turning the knobs, ping serviceops in general
