Pine, two more:
* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Schulz-performance.pdf - the slides about "Full Stack Performance" by Aaron Schulz from http://www.meetup.com/SF-Web-Performance-Group/events/182182062/ * Faidon Liambotis's dotScale talk on the Wikimedia infrastructure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=646mJu5f2cQ
I added both to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Presentations#2014 .

Thanks Sumana,
That's good info to have. I'll look through those links.
That diagram may make its way into the presentation that I'm drafting. The presentation has balooned to an alarming length already but I'm going to try to complete it in outline form before pruning.
If someone else makes presentation slides available about infrastructure under a license that allows reuse I would greatly appreciate it.
By the way, I appreciated the overview of UX in your keynote [1].

Hi, Pine.
I, too, am interested in building our understanding of our TechOps infrastructure. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Presentations has some explanations of some parts, as does http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/ . I welcome more links to guides/overviews.
At the recent Zurich hackathon, other developers agreed that it would be good to have a guide to Wikimedia's digital infrastructure, especially how MediaWiki is used. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Overview_of_Wikimedia_infrastructure is .... a homepage with approximately nothing on it right now except this diagram of our server architecture:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Server_Architecture_%28sim...
You might find the Performance Guidelines illuminating https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Performance_guidelines and you might also like the recent tech talk about how we make Wikipedia fast, by Ori Livneh and Aaron Schulz, recently - see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PqJuZ1_B6w (I don't know when the video is going up on Commons).

Ori, thanks for following up.
I think I saw somewhere that there is a list of postmortems for tech
ops disruptions
that includes reports like this one. Do you know where the list is? I
tried a web search
and couldn't find a copy of this report outside of this email list.
I personally find this report interesting and concise, and I am
interested in
understanding more about the tech ops infrastructure. Reports like
this one
are useful in building that understanding. If there's an overview of
tech ops
somewhere I'd be interested in reading that too. The information on
English
Wikipedia about WMF's server configuration appears to be outdated.
Thanks,
Pine
