Please take a moment to look at that page and mark projects that you are
using. Unclaimed projects will be in danger of shutdown on December 1st.
Thank you to those of you who have already acted on to this.

Every year or so the Cloud Services team tries to
identify and clean
up unused projects and VMs. We do this via an opt-in process: anyone
can mark a project as 'in use,' and that project will be preserved for
another year.
I've created a wiki page the lists all existing projects, here:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Cloud_VPS_2020_Purge
If you are a VPS user, please visit that page and mark any projects
that you use as {{Used}}. Note that it's not necessary for you to be
a project admin to mark something -- if you know that you're currently
using a resource and want to keep using it, go ahead and mark it
accordingly. If you /are/ a project admin, please take a moment to
mark which VMs are or aren't used in your projects.
When December arrives, I will shut down and begin the process of
reclaiming resources from unused projects.
If you think you use a VPS project but aren't sure which, I encourage
you to poke around on
https://tools.wmflabs.org/openstack-browser/ to
see what looks familiar. Worst case, just email
cloud(a)lists.wikimedia.org with a description of your use case and
we'll sort it out there.
Exclusive toolforge users are free to ignore this task.
Thank you!
-Andrew and WMCS team
