Shinken also seems like an abandoned project. It would be great to move to icinga2 so we’d be on a live project, and that’s in Debian stable. It would need very similar management to shinken if we went that route since it would be a cloud-internal service (possibly improved over what we do now?). I don’t believe that opening the prod firewall to nrpe interactions happening with Cloud VPS is wise.

If we poke roles in the firewall so Icinga can reach the VMs and we define the monitoring::service stuff in Puppet, is that all we need to shutdown Shinken? Do you think there would be any concerns with going that route?
I'm not sure, what checks does shinken do ATM that we'd need to port over to icinga? Right off the bat it seems simpler to me to fire up a icinga stretch VM and move over the checks and their puppetization to that VM instead, what do you think?
I'm asking about this because soon we'll see requests about removing more and more Jessie support from the Puppet codebase [0] and there's no exit strategy from Jessie for Shinken (it's not available in Stretch unless we want to package things ourselves, which I tried and failed).
Ouch! I didn't realize there's no shinken in stretch :( though it seems like a great occasion to get rid of it!
