Presentation by: Sampath Ranasinghe, Sr. Product Manager, Geo

A

Hello: everyone, my name, is sampath ramasingha and I'm the product manager for the geo group. Today, we'll be taking a look at the 15.2 outlook. You may be already familiar with the self-service framework, but in in quick summary. The cell service framework provides a well-defined interface and a consistent logic that can be used to replicate and verify all gitlab data data types between geo sites.

A

All new data types will use the self-service framework and we are busy moving existing data types to the self-service framework. uh We've already made progress in moving a number of the the different data types.

A

However, there are a couple outstanding here: projects and wikis designs and container registry, which we will be looking to move across in the in the in the 15.2. Milestone and follow-up milestones.

A

So, just to dig into a little bit more detail on this uh projects and wikis will be uh part of the effort in 15-2. We may separate this out into two efforts uh projects quickly, followed by wikis in order to deliver projects into the self-service framework faster and also to de-risk by decoupling the two.

A

Then we have container registry uh moving that into the self-service framework. This was originally planned for the 15-1 milestone. However, due to the popularity of oci images amongst our customer base and and the request from customers to support replication of this image format, we had, we prioritized uh replicating this in ngo in 15.1.

A

Therefore, once this is wrapped up, we will be shifting our focus to moving the container registry into the self-service framework in this milestone.

A

Geosecondary site support and, in particular the secondary secondary sites using separate urls, was, was planned for the 15-1 milestone. The work was completed late in the milestone and it may not make the cut for 15-1. Therefore, this is uh to catch a rollover in case it does happen, we're optimistic. We will make the 15-1 milestone, but in case it doesn't happen, uh we will. We will roll this up into the 15-2 milestone next up a couple of ux research and improvements on jio. First of all, first of all uh the cm scorecard for disaster recovery.

A

We are optimistic. We can conclude this uh effort in the 52 milestone. We have one interview left to conduct and we will be moving disaster recovery from the viable stage to complete.

A

We also will pick up the replication of cm scorecard for replication again hoping to move this from the maturity level viable to complete in this milestone.

A

Next, a couple of miscellaneous items: we, while we were able to get oci images into 15 1, there were some complications and challenges with the bill kit cash image, support which which go in hand in which go together somewhat, and we've decided to split the effort, ship support for replication, uh for osa images first and in fifteen one and and pick pick up the work for build cache images in in this milestone.

A

Next uh catelyn will be investigating uh the potential solutions and level of effort to fix uh an ssh timeout uh when proxy push requests, get push. Requests are made via the secondary to to the primary javiera will be working on uh finding a solution for long file names uh when when which cause uh problems with uh taking backups, we will be looking to truncate those file names and updating the references for those file names in the database, such that the backups can succeed uh successfully and then.

A

Finally, we have uh some cosmetic updates to the admin dashboard on um jio that that zach will be working on in this milestone.

A

With that, we conclude the 15.2 outlook for group tier, thank you and I look forward to seeing you on the next update.
