Do you have an idea, Mark, on how to improve the replication process in terms of hw or sw, especially for s3 replication?

Heya,

I could give a hand.

I'm an admin on en.wp, a clerk of the en.wp Arbitration Commitee, a
member of the BAG, and I am an OTRS agent.  I also obviously have way
too much free time on my hands.  :-)

I've been a sysadmin for a bit over 20 years, most of past 10 with Linux.

I spend way too much time on IRC already, might as well be productive.  :-)

I grok Apache, Jira, Pg, and Krb5.  I'm familiar with Veritas.  The rest
I mostly know /of/.

I've already got a number of other tasks I do around the wmf, but I can
certainly do a couple of hours of direct support work as well as idle in
the ts channel to give a hand whenever I'm on IRC.
