Hmm, my question was more about bots running for non-WMF wikis, does the same
'wmf-mission-alignment' requirement apply there too?

revi,
The terms of use are clarified at:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikitech:Cloud_Services_Terms_of_use
WMCS is indeed not a general purpose MediaWiki-hosting platform (there are already
hosting businesses for that), but MediaWiki could be hosted for projects that follow the
terms of use- some of them may not be immediately apparent. For example, if
translatewiki.org wanted to be hosted in WMF Cloud, I think everybody would be happy, as
it is the main tool used for Wikimedia project translation, even if it is also used for
3rd party ones. Several communities (e.g. Wikimedia user groups) are offered cloud or even
production wiki hosting if they are key to the advancement to the mission:

If you believe someone may be violating the terms of service, to the detriment of the
community, send a notification in private to the Cloud Team and they can have a look.

Question: Is it permitted to use WMCS (be it Cloud VPS or Toolforge) resources for
non-Wikimedia, Mediawiki-run website purposes? (Let's assume sites like FANDOM(Wikia),
Miraheze, or
https://librewiki.net )
Background: I was discussing some non-wikimedia (but mediawiki-run site) stuff at some
chatroom. Someone there thought they could use Wikimedia Cloud resources for non-WMF
websites (I don't know if it relates to MW development) purposes. I am not sure if
this is allowed (my interpretation is that it is not allowed), so I want some
clarification on that.
