  • Targets via conftool (related: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T148992 )
    • Host list dumped on tin in /etc/dsh/groups (I think)
    • Check the list of nodes against conftool
    • TODO check conftool availability on deploy hosts/check with guiseppe to verify conftool is usable for outside projects
    • Keeping group in conftool
  • Fanout for scap3 (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T121276 )
    • This is primarily for MediaWiki scap3 deploys, could be helpful elsewhere
    • Few ideas floating around: clustershell, swift instead of fanout
    • Simple idea: scap3 deploy to proxy servers, scap2 deploy from proxies to remainder; monitor as we go
