Here's more information about [[Ansible with Kubernetes]]

We also want to leverage the work being done at WMF. See [[Automated deployment of MediaWiki]]

One of the challenges, especially since it involves potential changes to MediaWiki itself, is the notion of "[https://12factor.net/ The Twelve-Factor App]" and how MediaWiki currently does not meet the criteria in one way or another. There's an open issue: [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T173955 Allow DefaultSettings.php be overridden by environment variables] that would help with the config aspect of things. The guys at Roots.io created an alternate WordPress system starting back in 2013 "[https://roots.io/twelve-factor-wordpress/ Twelve-Factor WordPress App]", inspired by an even older post [http://www.darrenmothersele.com/blog/2013/05/29/twelve-factor-drupal/ The Twelve-Factor Drupal Web App]. A more recent presentation on [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1AZIq628GEquvljmjSDAqvP0KkgkBWATWHWM39rat66c/edit#slide=id.p Twelve-Factor Drupal] was made at Drupal Camp Colorado in 2019.
