summary

MZCLD-3711 is a Backlog spike with no comments yet, asking Cloud Engineering to (1) build a hands-on proof of concept in Runlayer, (2) work out with IT how Runlayer responsibilities split between the two teams, and (3) test whether Runlayer's value is already covered by Google Agent Platform (companion spike MZCLD-3703). There's a hard deadline: the 60-day Runlayer trial started ~2026-08-03 and expires ~2026-10-02, so a decision is needed before then. The ticket is well-scoped but currently unstaffed/unscheduled (no comments, no linked sub-tasks visible) and has a related IT-side body of work already referenced (AIW-95/186/189/194/210/222/231, AIW-224, IAM-2031, INFRASEC-3609) that should be reviewed before duplicating effort.

proposed actions

Triage note: This spike is currently in Backlog with no activity yet, but the Runlayer trial expires ~2026-10-02, so we should get moving. Suggested next steps to unblock:

1. Assign an owner and set a target date to complete the PoC well before 2026-10-02 (leave buffer for the ROI writeup and IT alignment conversation).
2. Before starting hands-on work, review IT's existing Runlayer artifacts (AIW-95, AIW-186, AIW-189, AIW-194, AIW-210, AIW-222, AIW-231, AIW-224, IAM-2031, INFRASEC-3609) to avoid duplicating discovery already done and to get access/config context.
3. Schedule a short sync with IT to confirm and document the proposed division of labor (IT = MCP catalog feedback loop/value; Cloud Engineering = other use cases) — capture the agreement in a Confluence doc linked from this ticket.
4. Coordinate explicitly with the MZCLD-3703 (Google Agent Platform) spike owner, since testing the 'Google Agent Platform may already cover this' hypothesis is a shared dependency between the two spikes.
5. Plan to document ROI evidence either way (adopt or decline) as the deliverable, consistent with the Google Agent Platform spike's approach.

Recommend moving this out of Backlog into the current/next sprint given the fixed trial deadline.

      "description_text": "Background Runlayer is already in active use at Mozilla, led by IT \u2014 MCP server and OAuth connector configuration (AIW-95, AIW-186, AIW-189, AIW-194, AIW-210, AIW-222, AIW-231), a security and legal review (AIW-224), an access group for the IT Service Desk (IAM-2031), and a connector assessment from Infrastructure Security (INFRASEC-3609). Cloud Engineering has not been part of it so far, and a 60-day trial is now running, so this is the moment to get hands-on and decide how we want to participate. Goal Build a proof of concept in Runlayer, learn what it does well, and share that with Cloud Engineering \u2014 including a concrete list of possible uses of Runlayer for us. Roles and division of work Runlayer spans IT and Cloud Engineering, so part of this work is agreeing how the two teams divide it. The likely split: IT owns the feedback loop and the value coming out of Runlayer , since they are using it as an MCP catalog. Cloud Engineering covers what else Runlayer could be used for  beyond that catalog. Worth confirming with IT and writing it down, so both sides are working from the same understanding and nothing falls between us. Relationship to Google Agent Platform It is likely that Google Agent Platform supplies the things Runlayer does \u2014 which would make Runlayer a fit for companies that do not have or use Google Agent Platform. Testing that hypothesis is part of the learning here, and it is why this spike runs alongside MZCLD-3703 rather than independently of it. Trial window The 60-day trial started around  2026-08-03  and therefore expires around  2026-10-02 . We need a decision before it lapses. Return on investment As with the Google Agent Platform spike, proving ROI is part of the work rather than an afterthought. \"Google Agent Platform already covers this, so we do not need Runlayer\" is a legitimate and valuable outcome \u2014 it just needs to be evidenced.",
