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
