Closed, InvalidPublic13 Estimated Story Points

Description

Context

Our example node API should get promoted to the staging environment.

  • API is hosted on the staging instance of the staging cluster of kubernetes
  • API is accessible via the staging instance of the API gateway
Notes

Event Timeline

Wikimedia production services shouldn't be run in Toolforge/cloudVPS, its meant as a non-prod environment for quick iteration. I would suggest we echo this in our guidelines:

  1. Develop and deploy non-prod/iterative api on cloud services
  2. Once ready for production (releng agreed there was ambiguity with what that actually means) deploy to k8s

Security team chimed in to say that there already exists production-ish services on cloud services. but that they really would prefer that not to be a thing anymore (security wise)~~

sdkim set the point value for this task to 13.

@hnowlan As I understand it today, the deployment to staging k8 I understand that typically SRE would need to +2. Is there anything in your mind that we could incorporate as a check to get this be more automated and less manual?

At the moment anyone with deployment privileges should be able to +2 changes on the deployment-charts repo and deploy the changes. That's still a smaller group but widens it significantly beyond SRE - I wouldn't really think there'd be much wiggle room beyond that, but the correct process would be to get people who wish to deploy into the deployers groups instead

If I'm understanding https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/admin/repos/operations/deployment-charts,access correctly, then membership in the wmf-deployment group is sufficient.

I have that, as do a few other members of Platform Team (Cindy, Daniel, Eric, Petr, Tim).

We should probably get at least Nikki added. Pretty sure a manager is supposed to make the request. Here's the task where Will had it added for me:
