Hello (especially to Superset users),

As you may know, the Data Platform SRE team is currently working on migrating the Analytics Superset instances to Kubernetes (under ticket T347710) and, happily, I can report that we are making good progress.

This is just a courtesy email to let you know that we plan to switch our staging instance (superset-next.wikimedia.org) to over to Kubernetes over the next day or two. This is unlikely to affect anyone's work at the moment, given that both the staging and production instances of Superset have been on version 3.1.0 for a while.

However, given that this staging instance is available for you to use at any time, we thought it best to let you know that we are currently working on it and that it may be in a state of flux for a while.

Once it is stable on Kubernetes, we may well contact you again and ask you kindly to test superset-next for us and report your findings. At the moment though, we're just working on the transition itself so there won't be much for you to test.

As ever, if you have any queries or concerns, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Kind regards,
Ben
