I was able to see Wikipedia uses something called openstack, but not the details of what infrastructure they host on. Anyone know what facilities these repos will ultimately be served from?

Wikimedia uses colocated boxes around the world at different providers, and the user facing stuff is backed by Cloudflare. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_servers https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_servers

  The user facing stuff is not backed by cloudflare (Cloudflare's magic transit has at some points been used to mitigate DDOS attacks at the IP layer, but otherwise cloudflare is not used. Wikimedia operates (its own) varnish servers in virginia, texas, san francisco, singapore and amsterdam to do frontend caching.)

Openstack is used for wikimedia cloud, which is a project to give volunteers compute resources to do cool projects (this includes domains wmcloud.org toolserver.org and wmflabs.org). Production does not use openstack. Things like code review tools would be hosted in Virginia [eqiad] (with backup in texas [codfw]) on hardware owned by the Wikimedia Foundation.
