Team Discussions

Backport deployer sadness

edit 
Before window:
BP == backport, implies reviewed/ready for deploy, but unmerged
ve [BP+2]
operation/mwconfig [BP+2]
Zuul runs gating tests: ve + operation/mwconfig
if passes generate artifact
if not passes
skip that patch from artifact BP-1
notifys patch author so they can fix (maybe before the window!)
Automated artifact generation
IMG0 mw deployment image + ve
IMG1 mw deployment image + ve + operation/mwconfigDuring window
Scenarios:
    - I want to deploy in order one-at-a-time
    - I want to deploy all at the same time
    - do no want to deploy a change - need to deploy an emergency change first
    - late entry to backport - mwdebug check is bad (or automated check is bad/canaries)
One at a time
scap backport ve
CR+2 ve
no gate and submit
merge
automatically deploys: IMG0
scap backport mwconfig
CR+2 mwconfig
no gate and submit
merge
automatically deploys: IMG1
same time
scap backport ve mwconfig
CR+2 ve mwconfig
no gate and submit
merge both
automatically deploys: IMG1

Additional thoughts:

  • Maybe these should have a relation chain in gerrit
    • Might require same repo
  • who are the bp+2 people?
    • it seems like the burden to approve backports is usually the deployers
    • Currently: wmf-deployment (could be mediawiki group tho)
    • Hope: folks with more intimate knowledge of the change
    • This might be a replacement for CR+1 --- good since that's overloaded
  • Could have bot ping people lacking BP+2
  • Lowering cogantive load means more people willing to deploy
  • TODO: write this up in phab/gather ideas from backporters
  • TODO: set up another session
