Workstream: GitLab Pages

Label: ~"Workstream:GitlabPages"

Currently the GitLab application needs to share a file system with the pages application. This means that:

1. It is difficult to migrated GitLab Pages to a cloud-native environment with a shared file-system
2. If we are to leave GitLab Pages on Azure, we cannot have a shared file system

Proposal: switch file system notification for web-hooks, or use Redis, which we can access through an IPSEC VPN connection between the GCP and Azure.

Description

• GitLab Pages serves static pages
• Currently GitLab Pages has no dependency on the rest of the GitLab application
• Geo does not handle the transfer of GitLab Pages
• The simplest solution may be to leave GitLab Pages on Azure until after the rest of the migration has been completed.
