SSL

• bugzilla:16822 Provide SSL/HTTPS interface to upload.wikimedia.org and use it for SSL-served pages
• bugzilla:20643 Serve SSL/HTTPS sites out of same domain names as HTTP access: https://en.wikipedia.org/
  • This is potentially harder :)
  • Taipei experiment's issues w/ parser cache shouldn't be a problem if we set this up right
• bugzilla:20454 -- cleanup for SSL favicons
• bugzilla:225 -- once that's all up we can see about enforcing SSL for all logins

Squid capacity upgrade

• New Squids with SSDs, both Tampa and (a bit later) esams

Datacenter project

• Ongoing investigation and planning for our main dc, and some caching centers

Miscellaneous servers for esams

• The current servers are old and well out of warranty, we'll want ~10 or so new ones

Puppet

• Version control
• Slow but ongoing integration

Move Wikitech

• To server sage (at knams), with a (read-only?) replica

esams cleanup

• Cleanup and documentation of the move

LVS

• Reaching its capacity limits, needs an overhaul with more efficient kernel connection scheduling, or a new hw based solution
