Team Business

 * no chad for triage this thurs

Scrum of Scrums

 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/64/
 * Blocked on us: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/?statuses=open%28%29&projects=PHID-PROJ-arpazvuktn2l647rb6us#R


 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T106305 - Create Wikipedia South Azerbaijani
 * Chad/Tyler will #pair it out
 * Related links:
 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/wikimedia-language-setup/
 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T18976
 * https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Add_a_wiki
 * Discussed about taking care of such requests. Consensus to have our team to handle them


 * Add to SoS: Beta Cluster security scanning patch - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/158016/
 * get Chris S to complain too :)
 * Filippo is on a ops triage duty
 * #pair with bblack

Beta Cluster

 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/497/?order=priority


 * Catchpoint to monitor beta. Will probably be dismissed (see ops-l list // https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T97865 )
 * What is the cost? What does it bring us?
 * Potentially a smoke browser test such as:
 * https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/browsertests-Core-en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org-linux-firefox-sauce/performance/
 * https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/UploadWizard-api-commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/
 * AGREED: dismiss catchpoint, go with a basic smoke test


 * Puppet master: time to migrate to Trusty!
 * Save cherry picked patches
 * Delete instance, recreate one with same name (integration-puppetmaster), being bigger and running Trusty
 * Run puppet on all instances via salt to request new cert
 * Wait for puppet autosigner to kick in
 * Profit \O/

Deployment Cabal

 * Have use cases to deploy oid services on beta cluster !
