Small update on this.

Over the past 3 months, I have slowly familiarised myself with the
tiles.wmflabs.org and I have now migrated rendering and serving of these
tiles to a new server. I still need to do some work on the following things:

1: tile expiration
2: puppet deployment
3: log collection/rotation
4: renderd logging
5: renderd socket getting stuck ?

wma.wmflabs.org is still not saved however.
