September 18, 2018
 * Remaining hosts to be completed before end of quarter

Outcome 1 / Output 1.1 (SRE)
Current levels of service are maintained and/or improved for all production sites, services and underlying infrastructure.
 * Deploy, update, configure, and maintain and improve production services, platforms, tooling, and infrastructure (Traffic infrastructure, databases & storage, MediaWiki application servers, (micro)services, network, Infrastructure Foundations, Analytics infrastructure, developer & release tooling, and miscellaneous sites & services)

Dependencies on: Core Platform (MediaWiki, RESTbase), Performance, Release Engineering, Parsing (Parsoid), Analytics (EventBus),Community Liaisons; Primary team: SRE

Status
July 2018
 * Discussed...

August 14, 2018
 * this is ongoing and looking good, had some minor delays but it's scheduled for Sep for first switchover and back in October.

September 11, 2018
 * The switch to codfw is happening this week. The switchdc refactoring is complete and has been published as a generically re-usable (FOSS) automation library, as and is published as spicerack (FOSS).

Outcome 1 / Output 1.1 (SRE / Traffic)
Current levels of service are maintained and/or improved for all production sites, services and underlying infrastructure.
 * Deploy, update, configure, and maintain and improve production services, platforms, tooling, and infrastructure (Traffic infrastructure, databases & storage, MediaWiki application servers, (micro)services, network, Infrastructure Foundations, Analytics infrastructure, developer & release tooling, and miscellaneous sites & services)

Primary teams: SRE & Traffic

Goal(s)

 * Deploy an ATS backend cache test cluster in core DCs: ✅
 * 2x 4 node clusters
 * Puppetization
 * Application-layer routing
 * Deploy a scalable service for ACME (LetsEncrypt) certificate management:
 * Features:
 * Core DC redundancy
 * Wildcards + SANs
 * Multiple client hosts for each cert
 * Coding + Puppetization

 * eqdfw: replace router

Status
July 2018
 * Discussed...

August 14, 2018
 * The ATS testing and creation of packages is going well and some is already in production. This is doing the basic needs so far but nearly done.
 * ACME service is also on track
 * Increasing network capacity goal is moving much slower than expected, due to hardware installation (network switches) on the switch stacks issues with the vendor. This goal is at risk for this quarter due to these hardware and testing issues with the new/old switches. The replacement routers will also be at risk for this quarter.

September 2018
 * ✅ This goal is fully complete; an ATS test cluster has been setup in both core DCs.
 * ACME software has been written, deployment and use is expected by end of the quarter.
 * Increasing network capacity goal has hit a roadblock, due to network switch stack topology incompatibility issues with the vendor, causing network instability in production. This goal is at risk for this quarter, as we can neither take any risks nor move swifty on this very essential and critical infrastructure. The replacement of the routers is expected to complete before EOQ.

Outcome 1 / Output 1.1 (Performance)
Current levels of service are maintained and/or improved for all production sites, services and underlying infrastructure.
 * Deploy, update, configure, and maintain and improve production services, platforms, tooling, and infrastructure (Traffic infrastructure, databases & storage, MediaWiki application servers, (micro)services, network, Infrastructure Foundations, Analytics infrastructure, developer & release tooling, and miscellaneous sites & services)

 * Move navtiming data from graphite to prometheus
 * Remove dependency on jQuery from Mediawiki's base Javascript module ✅
 * Support and develop the Mediawiki ResourceLoader component
 * Dependency: Core Platform
 * Support and develop Mediawiki's data access components
 * Dependency: Core Platform

Status
July 2018

 * Synthentic monitoring and timing data is in progress but slightly delayed due to summer vacations. Everything else is in progress or done.

September 18, 2018
 * Synthetic monitoring and timing data are in progress and on track. Other goals are ongoing maintenance work that don't have a defined end state.

Outcome 2 / Output 2.1 (Performance)
Better designed systems
 * Assist in the architectural design of new services and making them operate at scale

Primary team: Performance

Goal(s)

 * Research performance perception in order to identify specific metrics that influence user behavior

Status
July 2018
 * Discussed...

August 14, 2018

September 18, 2018
 * Data collection is in progress and continues to go well. Data analysis will continue in to Q2

Outcome 3 / Output 3.1 (WMCS)
Users can leverage a reliable and public Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) product ecosystem for VPS hosting.
 * Maintain existing OpenStack infrastructure and services

Primary team: WMCS

Goal(s)

 * Develop timeline for Ubuntu Trusty deprecation ✅
 * Communicate deprecation timeline to Cloud VPS community
 * Continue replacing Trusty with Debian Jessie/Stretch in infrastructure layer

Status
July 2018
 * 

August 10, 2018
 *  Discussed: that experiments have been completed but showed some issues ✅, will need to build parallel grids, new puppet code, etc 

September 12, 2018
 *  Brooke has made some progress on Puppet changes that will allow us to build a second grid engine deployment with Debian Stretch. This outcome will carry over into Q2 and progress should accelerate as the parallel Neutron migration project moves from development to implementation.

Outcome 3 / Output 3.2 (WMCS)
Users can leverage a reliable and public Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) product ecosystem for VPS hosting.
 * Replace the current network topology layer with OpenStack Neutron

Primary team: WMCS

Goal(s)

 * Migrate at least one Cloud VPS project to the eqiad1 region and its Neutron SDN layer ✅

Status
July 2018
 * 

August 10, 2018
 *  discussed working on getting eqiad to play well with MAIN (shared services)

September 12, 2018
 *  * Arturo found a way to transparently route traffic between the legacy Nova Network deployment and the new Neutron deployment. This should make migrating projects to the new deployment significantly easier and more transparent for our end users.
 *  * Also, Progress is currently stalled due to unexpected hardware compatibility issues with Debian Jessie on new cloudvirt servers. We are getting a lot of help from the DC Ops team and Moritz to find solutions for these issues, but until we have a working combination of hardware & software we are holding off on procuring new servers. This in turn will slow the rate at which we can move projects to the new deployment. This is of larger impact for our Q2 continuation of this program than it is to meeting the current Q1 goal of moving at least one project.
