After nearly a decade of mishap and delay, we have updated the WMCS
terms of use. The updated document for toolforge and cloud-vps admins
can be found here:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikitech:Cloud_Services_Terms_of_use
and the terms of use for visitors to WMCS sites can be found here:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikitech:Cloud_Services_End_User_Terms_…
There is one significant change in these terms: Cloud-vps projects which
collect personal data will need to include an explicit privacy policy
for their projects. This is section 7.3. For other WMCS users and admins
these documents do not represent any significant change in policy, but
do clarify and finalize many things that were poorly-worded in the
previous TOU, or policies that we have enforced informally without
officially stating.
Please feel free to reach out to WMCS staff if you find any part of
these documents concerning or disruptive to your work on our platforms.

Hi!
We are restarting a switch[1] today at 13:00 UTC.
We are moving all the affected VMs to different hypervisors, and we
expect no downtime, though you might experience the servers being a bit
unresponsive when the migration finally moves the VM (a couple
seconds).
We will reply to this email once it's done.
Thanks!

PAWS was down and rebuilt. If you had a logged in session you may have to
refresh your state by logging out and back in to restart your server.
Thank you!

On 2023-05-15 PAWS will begin enforcing storage limits.

For home directories who's capacity goes above 1 gigabyte, the largest
files will be removed to bring the total usage below 1 gigabyte.
