Project Updates

[edit]

CI Scaling

[edit]
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/1010/
Quarterly Goal: "CI cluster responds to spike in queued builds by starting and registering additional jenkins slaves" - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111106
  • TMPDIR can not be deleted by jenkins-deploy user because they are owned by www-data
    • Fix/workaround implemented (delete TMPDIR contents instead of directory during cleanup; maintains jenkins ownership)
    • Should be fixed by leaving the dir behind and only deleting files. This way dir still owned by jenkins-deploy ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120824 )
  • Precise to be phased out. Need to migrate everything off of gallium (Zuul scheduler, Jenkins master which need puppetization, doc.wm.o ...)
  • npm migration to Nodepool not going to happen this quarter. Antoine spend too much time on maintenance tasks / other stuff.
  • Zelko finished migration to mediawiki_selenium to 1.6.x. Pending merges / CirrusSearch.

Deployment Tooling / Scap3

[edit]
Main: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/349/
Scap3: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/1449/
Quarterly Goal: "Migrate all Service team owned services and MW deploys to scap3" - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T109926
  • Event bus being deployed to production using scap3(!)
  • New command for checking whether security patches are applied
    • based on git apply-patch—reverse
  • Pybal/conftool/etcd work for beta cluster
  • Puppet resource for scap


Diff[usion|erential] migration

[edit]
https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/diffuerential-weekly
Gitblit-Deprecate: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/46/
Quarterly Goal: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111465
Gerrit-Migration: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/9/
  • Redirect work continuing
    • Biggest challenge ATM is to map Gerrit project name to Diff callsign
