Add a DNS alias for the wikilabels database (wikilabels.db.svc.eqiad.wmflabs)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In order to help keep config sane if we move or create redundancy for this database in the future, I'm proposing creating wikilabels.db.svc.eqiad.wmflabs similar to the address for toolsdb to help facilitate that.

We'd want to update apps that connect to the server as well, thus the ticket to help with coordination once the DNS alias is created.

I'm all for it. We have something similar for ores redis backend.

Cool :) Is anyone at Wikilabels using the pgsql.eqiad.wmnet DNS? I see that points at labsdb1004.

I don't believe we were ever using that.

Good, I'll remove that...carefully.

@Halfak, I've set up the alias. So you should be able to connect to wikilabels.db.svc.eqiad.wmflabs instead (which is pointed at clouddb1002). This will hopefully make life a tad easier in the future.
