Since FY 22/23 is now over, and we now have a new team structure, I'm going to resolve this task. Work still remains on some of the subtasks, but they are all tagged appropriately with new team/project tags, and this parent task no longer has any utility. I guess I'll leave the task structure in place for posterity though?

The Cloud-Services project tag is not intended to have any tasks. Please check the list on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/832/ and replace it with a more specific project tag to this task. Thanks!
