Upcoming: Delay in new wiki replicas on s5
by Manuel Arostegui 17 Jan '18

17 Jan '18

Hello Cloud Admins! As part of https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T174569 we have to alter some big tables. One of them is logging, which, for instance, in wikidata takes around 8h. Which is the shard I am currently working on. Because of the nature of the change (some columns being added) and ROW based replication (what we use in sanitariums) this change needs to be done with replication (from sanitarium, or their masters, to the labs servers). This will obviously generate lag and if not done that way, it will break replication till the column is added on the labs hosts, and this is less desirable than replication lag. I am planning to run the alter probably tomorrow or Monday (I will notify when I start it) for the sanitarium host in s5, that means that there will be lag on the labs servers, for a few hours, on the s5 instance (which will also affect s1 and s3 because we are using the same replication thread for those shards too - which is a FIXME we have pending). s2, s4, s6 and s7 will remain unaffected as they have their own replication thread. Should you have any questions, let me know! Thanks Manuel.

Setup gcal to show your local working hours
by Bryan Davis 02 Jan '18

02 Jan '18

I was shuffling a meeting for next week around today and noticed that only Arturo and I have working hours set in our Google Calendar profiles. I think it would be useful for everyone to configure their calendar to show their comfortable working hours to make it easier for me and others to set meetings without doing a lot of mental math about if it is too early or too late for someone to join. You do this by clicking the "cog" icon in the gcal UI, selecting 'Settings' and then 'General > Scheduling' in the left hand navigation menu.

Kubecon 2017 Offsite Outcomes and archiving

*Original:* https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/kubecon-2017-offsite-agenda *Archived on office wiki:* https://office.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Cloud_Services/Offsite_Notes/ku… *Decided:* - Stick with Trusty through Neutron migration (for now as we think we are making enough progress on this to ensure Trusty sunset by April 2019. Xenial seems to have Mitaka so if we have to potentially we can match mitaka there with Trusty for a migration of OpenStack releases across releases but that's work we don't want to do and we need to settle on a distro (see: figure out deployment methodology)) - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T166845 to be done via cumin for now (long term prometheus?) - draw.io is a canonical tool - Dumps work is a carry over goal - Neutron will be a carry over goal but hopefully not a literal one *Open Near Term:* - Neutron Plan: talk about the naming of deployents - Need to do hard capacity thinking on storage scaling and budgeting - icon templates for draw.io *Open Long(er) Term:* - Need to figure out openstack components deploy methodology (containers, source, distro packaging...) - Is SLURM viable? - kubeadm for Kubernetes deploy? - Tools Bastion and resource issues - Is there an upstream alternative that is viable for Quarry? - How much do we fold into cloud-init? - Do we use puppet standalone and virtualize the main cloud masters? - Hiera for instances is a mess and needs to be rethought. - Trial of paging duty cycles (while still taking advantage of our time spread) - How much of labtest is ready for parity testing? - Document undoing standalone puppetmaster setup *Missed because of time:* - - - puppet horizon interface future ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T181551 and co) - - FUTURE IDEAS: NOT EXISTING - - new TLDs for public and internal addresses: when and how to deploy - - new ingress for HTTPS in VPS and Toolforge? - - monitoring sanely - - thinking about ceph - - metrics for end-users - who uses my tools and how? ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T178834 and co) I would like to talk about the missed items if we can find a few minutes at all hands (over dinner?) -- Chase Pettet chasemp on phabricator <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/chasemp/> and IRC
