Wikimedia Technology/Annual Plans/FY2019/TEC3: Deployment Pipeline/Goals

=Program Goals and Status for FY18/19=

TEC3 Deployment Pipeline
 * Goal Owner: Greg Grossmeier
 * Program Goals for FY18/19: We will streamline and integrate the delivery of services, by building a new production platform for integrated development, testing, deployment and hosting of applications. Wikimedia developers experience a tooling parity between our Continuous Integration (CI) and production environments which enables them to release code more frequently by continuously reducing risk.
 * Annual Plan: TEC3 Deployment Pipeline
 * Primary Goal is Knowledge as a Service: Evolve our systems and structures
 * Tech Goal: Sustaining





= Q1 Goals =

Outcome 1 / Output 1.1
Continuous Integration is unified with production tooling and developer feedback is faster
 * Convert current CI builds to use the new tooling (Blubber).

Dependencies on: SRE team

Goal(s)

 * Move verify stage from Minikube to CI k8s namespace in production context

Status
July 2018

August 10, 2018
 * Discussed that work on a patch is still ongoing, need to refactor the pipeline job to the new namespace. This will be a change to the existing service but will need to be refactored when we get to the shared library.

September 14, 2018
 * This is now ✅!
