    • 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/

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/
