[WE6.2.6] Create design document for Group -1 deployment

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T379683

If we gather feedback from QTE, SRE, and individuals with domain specific knowledge and use their feedback to write a design document for deploying and using the wmf/next OCI container, then we will reduce friction when we start deploying that container.

Progress update

• Stage: Design
• Bryan created a list of questions for the Quality Services and Test Platform teams to help answer and sent the list to Stef for further distribution.
• Bryan created a list of questions for the Service Operations team to help answer and sent the list to Alexandros for further distribution.
• Bryan drafted a straw-dog proposal covering the major open questions and set it to Stef and Alexandros for further distribution.

Any new metrics related to the hypothesis

• The runtime of the MediaWiki branch and publish WMF single-version image job from WE6.2.1 has improved. The improvement was the result of work on T379712: Run PHPUnit tests for mediawiki/core in parallel by Arthur Taylor (WMDE). Running the PHPUnit tests in parallel has decreased the wall clock runtime for the wmf-quibble-core-vendor-mysql-php74 test suite from 39 minutes to 11 minutes. This has in turn decreased the wall clock runtime of MediaWiki branch and publish WMF single-version image from 41 minutes to 29 minutes.
