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_2019_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!
