Hello all,
If you watch the deployment calendar[0] closely you may have noticed a
change recently regarding the individuals listed next to each SWAT
deploy[1] window.
The short version:
* We have removed all Release Engineering team members names from the
list of SWAT deployers.
* Release Engineering team members are still around and available on an
as needed/backup basis.
* Release Engineering team members are still around to respond to any
issues that arise, of course.
* Also, Release Engineering would love to train more individuals on any
engineering team to self-serve their own SWAT deploys. Please contact
me if you'd like to explore next steps.
This is a relatively minor change to reflect the growing reality of how
SWAT deploy windows happen now.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of our current
and past SWAT deployers; thank you for helping get fixes out to our
users quickly and safely.
Best,
Greg
