Hi!
We would like to share some information regarding Wikimedia Cloud Services plans for deprecating Ubuntu, specially Trusty.
Ubuntu Trusty's end-of-life is April 2019 and the WMF decided to consolidate in a single operating system, which is Debian.
In Cloud VPS, projects containing Ubuntu virtual machine instances have been contacted by means of a Phabricator task. Toolforge users aren't affected by this right now, because Toolforge itself is currently running Trusty. But we are already working on the next, Debian-based, Toolforge version.
All this information, more details (and timelines), can be found on this Wikitech page:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Trusty_deprecation
Please, let us know any question or doubt you may have.
Best regards.

Hi Arturo,
Out of curiosity, why was Debian chosen as the sole flavor of Linux to offer? I see the reference to that decision on the page that you linked, but not an an explanation of that decision.
Thanks!

Arturo wasn't around at the time but I've done some digging and found some of the original discussion along with a public summary on the predecessor of this list: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/labs-l/2015-February/003399.html
