Using puppet for the project
by Marcin Cieslak 08 Sep '26

08 Sep '26

Hello, Since I have to re-do a lot of setup for the project anyway, I am considering using Puppet to make it easier to maintain in the future. Is running own puppetserver (as described in the docs) the only option or is there something easier? Marcin User:Saper

[Cloud-announce] Upcoming: Commons links tables move to dedicated cluster (x4)
by Alexander Vorwerk via Cloud-announce 08 Sep '26

08 Sep '26

Hello, Here is an update on the ongoing work to move the links tables of Commons to a dedicated cluster (x4). On Monday, September 7th, we will switch production reads to the new x4 cluster. At this point, the x4 hosts are just replicas of the s4 hosts, so the data served is identical. On Tuesday, September 8th, we will take the x4 hosts out of that replication and we will switch the writes to x4 as well. From that point on, the affected tables will no longer be written to s4. They will remain present in the wiki replicas, but will no longer receive any updates. A wiki replica for x4 will be set up afterwards; this can't happen earlier, as we do not have enough disk space to run replicas for these tables on both clusters at the same time. The following tables are affected by this move: * linktarget * externallinks * pagelinks * templatelinks * categorylinks * collation * imagelinks * globalimagelinks * iwlinks * existencelinks * langlinks The page and redirect tables will be present in both clusters. Progress is tracked at: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T437108 and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T437111 Background/rationale: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T398709 Thank you, Alexander Vorwerk — IRC: Zabe _______________________________________________ Cloud-announce mailing list -- cloud-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org List information: https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/cloud-announce.lists.wikimedia.…
