Logspam

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Release_Engineering_Team/Roles#Train_Conductor

• WMF.7 blockers: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T167536
• Lots of logspam in the past two weeks. Mostly under control now.
• https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T166348 is still ongoing, I tried to block on this but it's apparently an hhvm issue or something unrelated to deployed PHP code.

Other Team Business

• Quarterly Review slides
  • Greg has a draft at https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1eDjnXFBZ8Gzam1Xr57dro0sQEkv_EtBOTi8LnqIBVtw/edit#slide=id.g167a1185f5_4_23
  • Note: Those slides only cover the past, eg Q4. Kevin Smith will be creating the slides for the future (Q1) in a different format (Annual Program-centered, intead of team-centered)
  • Things to review/update:
    • the status of any Q4 goal
    • the list of "other successes"
    • if you know of any good metrics to include in the "workflows" slide I'm all ears, maybe (SWAT) deploys done? something else?

Streamlined Services Delivery

Build a runnable image from tested and confirmed code that is suitable for promotion.

define 'tested and confirmed' / determine the entry-point for building a container

Done

generate or consume a docker file for building

Done

build image, upload and tag it in docker registry

can upload to a registery, but not *the* registery due to credential issues, proposal made

• last meeting
• proposal to address credential issues
• ops working on base-images/base-image tool

  • review(s) welcome https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/363331/ WIP disable VisualEditor welcome dialog
  • working on making Math tests pass WIP WebdriverIO tests for Math https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/346982/

Quality

Phabricator

• Not a lot happening in phab land other than fighting the morocan pirates
• We've blocked some IP ranges
  • MaxSem wrote "Block WP Zero users from accessing Phabricator uploads" - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/363264/
  • Hopefully this will take away any incentive for uploading crap to phabricator. Time will tell. (when WPZero is your internet, WPZero becomes the internet)
• Experimenting with due dates in phabricator tasks:
  • custom task subtype named "deadline"
  • https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76094

Gerrit

• Bacula backups starting soon
• Gonna reattempt Logstash integration
• Clean up systemd bullshit
• Scap-based deploys being worked on

Nightlies server

• Surprisingly far along, releases1001 is running Jenkins, plus taking over releases.wm.o
• Next step:
  • Finish moving off bromine [this week]
  • Apache config for jenkins
  • Setup our build jobs :D

Docker for CI

• https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/operations-puppet-tests-docker/buildTimeTrend
  • Now has "same" optimizations as operations-puppet-tests-jessie
  • Needs tweaks for JJB for castor to accept target path
  • Done?
