So we've made some headway in resolving all of the inevitable issues that cropped up after migrating a lot of cloud instances to all new infrastructure and assigning a new IP to each of them. Many Thanks to Krenair and Andrew for all the great work you've been doing to get things back to normal.
Despite each of our efforts, there is still a configuration error preventing MediaWiki from working in beta. I've been stuck for several hours now but I'm hopeful that this is the last major issue and I'm sure it's simple for someone who understands MediaWiki internals better than I do. Unfortunately I'm completely stumped so I could really use some help from someone who understands the configuration of MediaWiki session storage and the underlying object cache.
The problem is described in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T210030 so I won't repeat it here. I'll simply appeal for those of you who know something about how "BagOStuff" is configured, please take a look at T210030 and point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for taking a look. I apologize for the inconvenience caused by this unfortunately unavoidable interruption of service.

Due to a lucky arrangement of schedules, we are going to move the deployment-prep project to the new Cloud region this week, starting in a few minutes. *This includes all of the infrastructure behind the beta.wmflabs.org site.*
Various people will be standing by to troubleshoot the outages that result, but for the most part if you see bad behaviors you should disregard or work around them for the time being.
Once everything is moved and semi-stable I will send a followup email, at which point the deployment-prep team will once again become interested in bug reports :)
Sorry for the short notice! With a little luck this should be mostly painless.
