## Background At this point, the implementation of https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/5914 should be finished and enabled on staging. Now we expect https://geo.staging.gitlab.com to behave the same as https://staging.gitlab.com. ### Before https://geo.staging.gitlab.com is read-only. For example, attempting to create a project fails with an error. ### After https://geo.staging.gitlab.com acts just like https://staging.gitlab.com. For example, attempting to create a project succeeds. ## Purpose Before releasing the feature to customers, defaulted on, it needs to be thoroughly validated. Ideally, this means testing a wide range of GitLab features, especially any that the Geo team is unfamiliar with. ## Proposal 1. We are asking teams to smoke test their features on https://geo.staging.gitlab.com and raise any unexpected behavior. 1. After internal testing and addressing major issues, we are asking interested Geo customers to beta test this feature.
