Q3 goal/project check-in
editConsolidate deploy tools
edit- Migrate MediaWiki to scap3 - task T114313
- no where near ;)
- started forming a plan Friday Feb. 12th
- still forming the experimenting plan
- did get a lot of prereqs done (thanks to the Phabricator needs)
- dropped the idea of using zsync (for l10n stuff) for now
- looking into git-annex
Antoine: for l10n we have a task to use the plain .php file directly in hhvm but that exhausts hhvm caches quiet fast (no gc on hhvm)
- Q2 Quarterly Goal hold over: Migrate all Service team owned services and MW deploys to scap3 - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T109926
- unblocked thanks to the Phab related things (see above)
- Tyler has a patch: making the service nodes hiera config available to use scap
- after that is merged the ball is in the services court mostly
- Marko/Services will be aware of this as of this coming Monday (Feb 22)
- Getting services on Beta Cluster migrated to scap is the next obvious win
- Services owners should own this migration as well - us supporting them
- Then get Jenkins, on postmerge, to scap deploy on beta cluster deployment-tin
- Tyler or someone to email Ops list after his patch is merged with the update and "yo, get migrating"
Differential Migration
edit- https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/diffuerential-weekly
- Integrate Differential with our Continuous Integration infrastructure - task T31

- <insert huge zuul/dependent changes/pipeline/harbormaster discussion/pre-post-merge gate>
- Shepherd the RFC - task T119908
- not much, prereq is the above stuff on CI
- Discuss at WikiDev16 - task T114320
- done

- Migrate remaining CI jobs to Nodepool - task T119138
- php composer (Zend and HHVM) - task T119139

Not done / shifted. Worked on Oct-Dec 2015 completion instead ie migrate npm jobs task T119143
- Services to Nodepool / NodeJS 4.3
- Misc npm jobs (such as mediawiki)

Lot of maintenance related workload (php55, generalize jobs, reviews, support) :-/
