summary

MZCLD-3748 is a Q4 2026 epic (status: Backlog, no comments yet) continuing the Firefox VPN Fastly proxy expansion programme after Wave 1 (MZCLD-2373) and Wave 2 (MZCLD-3085). It bundles two goals: (1) landing remaining region coverage via the standard 4-step workflow (IP procurement, CASA/LOA, Fastly handoff/provisioning, validation), with wave numbering still TBD pending product timeline; and (2) transitioning ownership of the VPN Fastly proxy service from Cloud Engineering to Krupa Raj's team now that it's in steady-state post-POC. The epic currently has no child tasks yet — regions are pending identification based on which Wave 2 regions slip into Q4. Attempts to pull cross-referenced epics MZCLD-3085 and MZCLD-2373 for corroborating status were blocked by run-scope policy, so this triage relies solely on MZCLD-3748's own description.

findings

• Epic is in Backlog with zero comments and no child tasks yet — it's essentially a placeholder/planning shell awaiting scope confirmation.
• Scope and even the epic's wave designation are explicitly unresolved and dependent on external factors (product timeline, Wave 2 completion pace).
• There is a known schedule risk carried over from Wave 2: Fastly POP provisioning lead time (~10 weeks) means some Wave 2 regions are only expected to land in Q4 regardless of Wave 3 scoping — this creates overlap/ambiguity between 'finishing Wave 2' and 'starting Wave 3' work under one epic.
• A second, structurally distinct goal — ownership transition of the Firefox VPN Fastly proxy service to Krupa Raj's team — is bundled into the same epic as region expansion work. This is described as independent of region count, meaning it could be tracked/progressed separately and shouldn't block or be blocked by region delivery.
• Related epics MZCLD-3085 (Wave 2) and MZCLD-2373 (Wave 1) are referenced for context but could not be read due to run-scope policy restrictions, so their current status/progress could not be verified as part of this triage.

proposed actions

Triage notes: This epic is still in Backlog with no child tasks — it's currently a scope placeholder pending two upstream inputs: (1) confirmation of how many Wave 2 regions slip into Q4 vs. complete in Q3 (per the ~10-week Fastly POP provisioning lead time noted in MZCLD-3085), and (2) product timeline firming up whether Q4 work is 'Wave 2 completion' or a new 'Wave 3'. Recommend: (a) rename/re-scope the epic once wave designation is confirmed, (b) begin filing child tasks for the four-step workflow (IP procurement → CASA/LOA → Fastly handoff/provisioning → validation) as soon as region list is known, and (c) consider splitting the ownership-transition-to-Krupa-Raj's-team work into its own tracking ticket/epic since it's explicitly independent of region count and could proceed in parallel without waiting on region delivery status. Flagging for owner/assignee follow-up before further grooming.

      "description_text": "Background Q4 2026 continuation of the Firefox VPN Fastly proxy expansion programme, following Wave 1 ( MZCLD-2373 , Q2 2026) and Wave 2 ( MZCLD-3085 , Q3 2026). Wave designation is TBD.  Depending on where the product timeline lands, Q4 work will be either the completion of Wave 2 or a distinct Wave 3. MZCLD-3085 notes a Fastly POP provisioning ETA of end of August 2026 (~10 week turnaround), with best case for full Wave 2 rollout in Q4 2026 \u2014 so some Wave 2 regions are expected to land in this quarter regardless. This epic's title will be updated with the wave number once the product timeline firms up. Workflow Q4 region work follows the same four-step path proven in Waves 1 and 2: IP address procurement  \u2014 secure the /24 blocks backing the new POPs (Connexly). CASA + Letter of Authorization (LOA)  \u2014 authorize Fastly to announce the IPs on Mozilla's behalf. Fastly handoff and POP provisioning  \u2014 deliver blocks and LOA, then coordinate with Fastly through IP receipt and bringing each region online. Validation  \u2014 VPN connectivity and geofeed accuracy per region, plus forward and reverse DNS (FCrDNS) coverage for the new exit IPs. Ownership transition A distinct Q4 goal, independent of region count: transition ownership of the Firefox VPN Fastly proxy infrastructure to Krupa Raj's team. Cloud Engineering has carried this service since the 2025 POC ( MZCLD-1149 ) and it has now reached steady-state operations, so continued Cloud Eng ownership is a default rather than a decision. Goal Land the remaining Firefox VPN Fastly proxy region coverage in Q4 2026 and complete the handoff of the service to its long-term owning team. Specific regions and work items will be added as child tasks under this epic as they are identified \u2014 Q4 scope depends on which Wave 2 regions complete in Q3.",
