@BTullis - I see this is assigned to you. Do you need any assistance from Clinic Duty? (I see this is still waiting on an SSH public key, etc.)

Thanks @Scott_French - I'm working direct with Jerry to sort out the SSH keys etc, so at the moment I don't need any support from Clinic Duty. I'll hopefully be able to make progress on this next week.

Thanks for handling this Ben! I'll remove the SRE tag to clear this from clinic duty for now, but please re-add it if you need anything.

Any updates on this? The access request tag makes this part of the clinic duty workboard.

Gehel subscribed.

I'm removing the access request tag until we have time to coordinate with @JerryWang-WMF

With no news from @JerryWang-WMF, I'm moving this to our backlog. @JerryWang-WMF : ping us if you need those access.
