Event Timeline
I will create all subtasks as labelled above and update that.
Tagged this as Notice for @Agent_Isai to pick up as I think a general notice to the community that there will be periods of read-only and reduced services (grafana/static, etc.) potentially coming up in January. More details will be known in the next few weeks (at most I would say 9th of Jan?) and periods of reduce service will receive at least 1 weeks notice to users.
First part is partially done - I'm going to put final testing in tomorrow for networking setup and security harden the more valuable access points into the new cluster.
I also want to keep the servers up and running for a full 24 hour period to see how they bed into their new environment and monitor base level power usage. Further updates on this tomorrow.
Hi @John,
What's the plan to handover MediaWiki (SRE) servers to them?
I'll be doing most of the setup but with no @Reception123 I'll need someone to merge my puppet PRs.
We obviously need puppet (T8485) online first but my understanding is that it must be as gluster is being configured.
I'll link in with Paladox later to understand what they have done and where they are up to. From there, I provision all the MediaWiki (SRE) servers with puppet and then merge the relevant puppet PRs as/when required/possible.
Status: MediaWiki is running as much as it can be without any databases.
I will be setting up jobs tonight and hopefully connecting the new servers to cache proxies but not in the main backend.
