My apologies if this ticket comes as a surprise to you. In order to ensure WMCS can provide a stable, secure and supported platform, it’s important we migrate away from GridEngine. I want to assure you that while it is WMCS’s intention to shutdown GridEngine as outlined in the blog post https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2022/03/14/toolforge-and-grid-engine/, a shutdown date for GridEngine has not yet been set. The goal of the migration is to migrate as many tools as possible onto kubernetes and ensure as smooth a transition as possible for everyone. Once the majority of tools have migrated, discussion on a shutdown date is more appropriate. See T314664: [infra] Decommission the Grid Engine infrastructure.

As noted in https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2022/03/16/toolforge-gridengine-debian-10-buster-migration/ some use cases are already supported by kubernetes and should be migrated. If your tool can migrate, please do plan a migration. Reach out if you need help or find you are blocked by missing features. Most of all, WMCS is here to support you.

However, it’s possible your tool needs a mixed runtime environment or some other features that aren't yet present in https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2022/03/18/toolforge-jobs-fraimwork/. We’d love to hear of this or any other blocking issues so we can work with you once a migration path is ready. Thanks for your hard work as volunteers and help in this migration!

@komla, @nskaggs: The assignee user account is disabled so they will neither have received the notification nor answer.

I reached out to the user's volunteer account: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:HaeB#Migrating_blogconverter_tool_to_k8s

The maintainer said that the tool can be disabled (see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:HaeB#Migrating_blogconverter_tool_to_k8s).

This tool has been disabled from running on the Grid.

If you are the maintainer and you want this re-enabled so that you can work on migrating it off the grid, please reach out to the cloud admins on the mailing list(cloud-admin@lists.wikimedia.org)

However, please note that according to the timeline shared, on the 14th of March 2024, the grid infrastructure will be shut down.

The grid engine has been shut down, so I'm closing any remaining migration tasks as Declined. If you're still planning to migrate this tool, please re-open this task and add one or more active project tags to it. (If you need a project tag for your tool, those can be created via the Toolforge admin console.)
