Macro itshappening:

Clement_Goubert added a project: User-notice.

I'm wondering if in the vein of

This is not really user-impacting, specially given that mw-on-k8s is on test2wiki only but I think it should show up in next week's Tech news regardless. For these reasons:

  • This is a major change in our infrastructure and users should know early such change is coming to their wikis.
  • Most technical users are software engineers in their day jobs and understand k8s and importance of this change.
  • It brings more transparency to the community on one of the pretty big initiatives spanning for years now.
  • Inviting tech users to test our the new infra and let us know of issues early on.

Something along the lines:

One of our test wikis is now being served from a new infrastructure powered by Kubernetes (read more). More Wikis will switch to this new infrastructure in early 2023. Please test and let us know of any issues.

If you disagree, it's totally fine and feel free to remove the tag. I don't mind.

We shouldn't announce this?

Something like:

We are now serving 1% of all global user traffic from Kubernetes (read more). We are planning to increment this percentage regularly, you can follow this progress here.

Thanks for the draft, appreciated! I've added this to Tech News. (The only major tweak was making the link text slightly clearer contextually for the benefit of screenreaders, especially avoiding "here" as link text! :>)
That will be frozen for translation in ~24hours, so please make any additions or adjustments before then. Thanks again!

Thank you! I'll take care of avoiding using here as link text for screenreaders in the future, TIL :)
