Re: [Cloud] [Cloud-announce] NFS scratch mount changes 2019-05-28@1800 UTC

[Brooke Storm]

As puppet runs propagate, this is being rolled out.  When it appears complete, 
I’ll be unmounting the labstore1003 mount point.

[Cloud] [Cloud-announce] cloudservices1003 rebuild on 2019-06-03

[Arturo Borrero Gonzalez]

Hi!

On 2019-06-03 UTC+2 14:00 (next monday) we will be rebuilding the
cloudservices1003 server,
that holds the designate service which serves DNS request for CloudVPS and
Toolforge.

We have a backup server -cloudservices1004-, so we don't expect a lot of
downtime. But DNS queries are really fast, and there may be a lot of them that
will fail while we stabilize the DNS service.

Please reach out to the WMCS team if you need more details or have any doubts.

regards.

[Cloud] Wednesday: Technical Advice IRC Meeting

[Michael Schönitzer]

Reminder: Technical Advice IRC meeting this week **Wednesday 3-4 pm UTC**
on #wikimedia-tech.

The Technical Advice IRC Meeting is a weekly support event for volunteer
developers. Every Wednesday, two full-time developers are available to help
you with all your questions about Mediawiki, gadgets, tools and more! This
can be anything from "how to get started" over "who would be the best
contact for X" to specific questions on your project.

If you know already what you would like to discuss or ask, please add your
topic to the next meeting:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting

Hope to see you there!

Michi (for the Technical Advice IRC Meeting crew)
